Producer Mandy Greenfield has announced the launch of Red Yes Studio, a commercial production company focused on theatre with expansion into film and television.
The company's inaugural production is Jessica Goldberg's Babe, which began previews at The Pershing Square Signature Center's Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theater October 29. Produced alongside The New Group, the new play stars Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei, Arliss Howard, and Gracie McGraw; with direction by Scott Elliot and music by BETTY.
Other projects under commission and in development include The Last Return, written by Sonya Kelly and directed by Rebecca Taichman; Treasure, by Benjamin Scheuer with a book by Rick Elice and direction by Rebecca Taichman; The Ghost Writer, adapted from the novel by Philip Roth with music by Tom Kitt, a book by Daniel Goldfarb, and lyrics by Kitt and Goldfarb; Inside the World of Somewhere Else by Calamity West; and untitled new works by Julia Jordan and Emeli Sandé, Sarah Treem, Kendell Pinkney, and more.
Red Yes is partnering with Leviathan Productions on the feature film adaptation of Anna Ziegler’s acclaimed play Photograph 51 with a screenplay by Ziegler, among other film and television projects currently underway.
The company will also be represented on Broadway this season as a co-producer on the upcoming Broadway production of Redwood, starring Idina Menzel.
“I launched Red Yes Studio because I believe in the transformative, disruptive, and impactful benefits of empowering theatre artists to create new work across media,” Greenfield said in a statement. “I am excited to partner with our investors; their passion is matched by the brilliance and fearlessness of the artists with whom we are collaborating."
