Off Square Theatre Company

'''Off Square Theatre Company''' is a non-profit performing arts organization based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Established in 1998, the company has been dedicated to producing and presenting theatre of the highest professional standards with a mission to inspire, stimulate, and entertain diverse audiences. In addition to its mainstage productions, Off Square Theatre Company is actively involved in conducting training and educational programs aimed at enhancing the quality of life for the communities it serves. === History === Off Square Theatre Company began its journey over two decades ago with the goal of bringing professional and community theatre to the Jackson Hole area. From its early days performing at the Pink Garter Mainstage Theatre, which had a seating capacity of 340, the company experienced significant growth. In October 2006, the company moved to the newly completed Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, becoming its Resident Theater Company. This move allowed Off Square Theatre to expand its offerings in the 530-seat Center Theater and the more intimate 100-seat Black Box Theater. The company has since established itself as a cornerstone of the local arts scene, producing an annual season of 4-5 fully-staged productions. It also hosts an annual Youth Musical on the Center Stage, a staged reading series, and engages in collaborative projects with other community organizations. Off Square Theatre Company's commitment to the arts is further reflected in its annual reports, with the 2022 Annual Report showcasing its continued efforts and impact. === Staff and Leadership === The company is led by a team of creative professionals who are passionate about the arts. Natalia Duncan Macker serves as the Producing Artistic Director, bringing her extensive experience as a performer and producer to the organization. Nanci Turner Steveson, a published author and lifelong equestrian, holds the dual role of Engagement Director and Company Manager, leveraging her background in both opera and theater. Elizabeth Taylor, with her BFA in Theater Technology, is the Technical & Operations Director, overseeing the technical aspects of productions. Sadie Frank, a producer and actor with a diverse background in drama and education, serves as the Education Director and Development Manager. === Board of Directors === The governance of Off Square Theatre Company is overseen by a Board of Directors comprising individuals from various backgrounds who share a commitment to the company's mission.
