About Us

​For the Makers Productions is a creative powerhouse committed to developing and producing innovative, high-quality works in the theater and film industries. We aim to bridge the gap between new work development and commercial theater by fostering collaboration, driving artistic excellence, and empowering creators. We aim to support and bring bold new works and concepts— in plays, musicals, and films—to life while creating pathways for new voices, fostering community, and ensuring cultural impact.

​

Founded by a passionate team of theater makers, including producers, directors, writers, and actors, For the Makers Productions was born from the desire to create a new model for producing original theater and film content. Over the years, we have successfully brought multiple projects to fruition. Through these experiences, we have learned that the path to Broadway can be complex and costly for new works, and the commercial theater landscape can be challenging for emerging creators. This gap between new work development and commercial success is where For the Makers Productions intends to make its mark.
