VELVET STAGE PRODUCTIONS
A BOLD NEW HOME FOR QUEER THEATRE AND MULTI-HYPHENATE ARTISTS
Producers Nick Flatto and Matt Anderson have joined forces to launch Velvet Stage Productions, a theatre company dedicated to nourishing and developing queer artists and narratives. Drawing from their work on award-winning productions — including the Tony-nominated Operation Mincemeat and the cult hit Stranger Sings!: The Parody Musical — Flatto and Anderson are building a creative home where bold ideas and boundary-pushing voices can thrive.
Velvet Stage Productions is committed to producing high-caliber theatre, developing new works, training the next generation of innovators, and partnering with like-minded leaders in the arts. At its heart, the company is about creating space for artists to explore, grow, and bring authentic queer stories to the stage.
In its inaugural year, Velvet Stage Productions also debuted Velvet Stage Lab — a four-week, in-person creative laboratory for multi-hyphenates, blending theatre exercises, personal discovery, and collaborative exploration to help artists reconnect with their inner child, share works-in-progress, and strengthen their creative community.
