Founded in 2015 by six Notre Dame graduates, Open Booth is a New York-based theatre company dedicated to creating new plays that explore big ideas through an intimate lens. The group revolves around the belief that plays begin with questions but do not generally end with answers and that the best plays are made from ensemble, luck, and the ordinary moments that you’d usually forget.

I joined the company for summer 2015 as a social media/publicity specialist and helped launch Open Booth’s first-ever show, SHE, a new play by Renée Roden. For this production, we as a team raised more than $1,800, double our original goal, through Indiegogo and put on a sold-out run of 12 performances in a bathroom at Cristo Rey New York High School. The site-specific staging was complemented by specialty lights and sound design, as well as a small audience who could see the actors up close.
