Wide eyed was founded by Liz White, Kristin Skye Hoffmann, and Sky Seals, all graduates of University of Northern Colorado’s' performing arts program. After a few years in New York City the three realized that they were literally surrounded by hundreds of talented people, most of them their friends. Everything to make a good company was already there just waiting for someone to take action. The thought had been tossed around more than once, but it was after a successful run of Medea with Hudson Shakespeare Company with a cast of all friends and pure talent that WE came to fruition. The birth was all at once painful and miraculous. A bonding as well as a test of friendship and an dedication to the craft. Although there is still a lot of work to do, Liz White, KHoff, and Mr. Sky are ready to make this company successful well beyond their years. We want WEP to be a platform where talented people can be recognized, and where quality productions are abundant.
Wide Eyed Productions is a New York City-based collective of artists
dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in risk-taking, relevant
theatre. Our core ensemble is committed to the birth of new works and
also the rebirth of the classic texts. Through our collaborative
process W.E. discovers and creates theatre that both stimulates the
imagination and awakens the public's passion for high standards in
the performing arts.
And W.E. will not stop!
