About Red Productions Events

---

Founded by Gordon Farrell and Tatiana Gelfand, Red Productions Events started in a theater lab on Allen Street, NYC's Lower East Side, in 2009. 

Since then,  we have grown to create and co-produce events in San Francisco and Buffalo, Off-Broadway and now at 

New York's Alchemical Studios.

The press has called our work

"Unforgettable!"

"In your face!"

"Rare and special!"

"Authentic and from the heart."

We seek out and collaborate with dedicated artists who are committed to bringing provocative voices to the stage.

We are  confrontational, poetic and full of humanity  in our theater presentations.

 We create expressionist experiments, walk-through theater and  sometimes traditional theater -- that will catch you off-guard with a daring concept or unexpected  twist.

Gordon is a veteran Off-Broadway producer and manager, as well as former General Manger of the Berkeley Shakespeare Festival and Primary Stages in New York. He is an award-winning Broadway playwright, co-author of "The Lifespan of a Fact," which starred Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones and Bobby Canavale and produced by eight-time Tony winner Jeffrey Richards. The play made Variety's List of Ten Best Plays of 2018 as well as The New Times Critics' Pick and the Boston Globe's Critics' Pick. It is currently being performed across North America and in countries around the world. Gordon co-founded Red Productions Events in a theater lab on NYC's Lower East Side in 2009.

Tatiana trained with the internationally celebrated theater artist Carlo Magaletti assisting on his “Wunder[bar]” in Munich, Germany, and the Off-Broadway danseteatr “Let’s Speak Tango!” In San Francisco, Gelfand directed “No Exit” at Mojo Theater, “The Eighth Circle” & “The Audition From Hell” at the Playwrights' Center of SF. 

For Red Productions, she directed “Lovers and Other Liars,” “Threshold,” and “Exit Routes”, as well as co-creating  “Girls Who Walked on Glass”. Gelfand wrote and directed "Scotch and Madness," a cutting edge expressionist drama that premiered to critical acclaim at the Alleyway Theatre in Buffalo in 2020.  

Kurt Roediger was at the directorial helm of Girls Who Walked on Glass for our 2024 Off-Broadway run, alongside Chelsea Lesage.  In 2022, he co-directed and oversaw all performances of this complex and fast moving experience. He most recently directed Sean Lynch’s Wildfire Dogs and was assistant director for Kelly Barrett-Gibson’s Reading Between the Lies, which he also acted in at the Rhinebeck Center for the Performing Arts. Kurt has also directed for Love Creek Productions and Production Workshop. He is a veteran NYC actor who has appeared in numerous shows, both in NYC and regionally. Kurt is a founding member of and sits on the artistic board of Endangered Artist Sanctuary. He is a graduate of Brown University and has trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. 

 LeSage is the cofounder of both CL Squared Productions and Golden Grand Piano in New York. An actor/model/director/producer, she has toured internationally as Shakespeare’s “Henry V” and has modeled for brands such as Sephora, Cover Girl, and Venus, among others. She is known for her role as Julie in Amazon Prime’s “21st Century Demon Hunter,” is playing The Nameless in the upcoming “Bishop’s Cove,” and Jo in the upcoming “Devour.” In the past she has assayed Lady Macbeth in “Macbeth,” The Witch in “Into the Woods” and the title role in Hamlet.    LeSage returns to the role of Katrina in the first major New York production of "Girls Who Walked on Glass" as well as co-directing alongside Kurt Roediger.
