An Innovative Theatrical Experience

Our Team

Executive Producer

She/They - Ackerman is a Brooklyn based artist currently serving as the Associate Producer for La Femme Theatre Productions; an all inclusive theatrical company centered around the exploration and celebration of the universal female experience. Prior to now, Ackerman has spent their career working with Daryl Roth Theatrical, Seaview Productions, and Scott Rudin Productions. Rachel is an alumnus of Syracuse University’s Department of Drama. During their time there Ackerman had the privilege of interning for The Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center, New York Stage and Film, Ars Nova, The Musical Theatre Factory, as well as Syracuse Stage. As an artist Ackerman is emboldened by the work of their fellow collaborators - their goal has always been to generate work that is reflective and representative of the world they live in. They hope to do this by building community over capital! With the few characters they have left in their allotment Ackerman needs to thank their parents' and sister. They are the people who give Ackerman strength, courage, and hope. Without them none of the above would be possible.

OFF WE GO or (Поехали!)

Off We Go (Поехали!) takes us to a Soviet psychiatric institution for the politically radical, where a cosmonaut and a homeless youth find themselves waiting for some chance at the outside world again while having to deal with the institution's relentlessly insistent head doctor and an apparatchik who just wants some alone time while determined to break their faith. Inspired by Soviet and Eastern European cinema of the 60s and 70s, this story asks two major questions to both our company and our audience, can a sick country heal its people? Is it possible to be well inside of a system that is sick/broken? As four operators within the system meet in the worst of circumstances they find themselves on the brink of ineffable change.

WHO’S YOUR DADDY

Who's Your Daddy? written by and starring Gagarin and directed by Reuven Glezer is an adaptation of the Elektra story that centers itself around trans rebirth and self actualization. At the moment of murder in the birthing bed memory, longing, vengeance and hope tumbles forth. The eggs cracks on the outside in this piece bringing the internal battle the trans spirit undergoes into the physical world to be witnessed and experienced.
