CONNECTING ART TO COMMUNITY
CONNECTING ART TO COMMUNITY
I’m Avery Anderson, a creative leader, journalist, and advocate for storytelling that matters. My work spans theatre, media, and community engagement, all with a deep commitment to innovation and accessibility. Whether I’m shaping the artistic vision of a theatre, writing compelling narratives, or reimagining audience engagement, I believe in the power of stories to connect, challenge, and inspire.

Innovation
Art should be alive, evolving, and unexpected. I love rethinking how we tell stories—whether it’s through unconventional spaces, fresh engagement strategies, or creative risk-taking that brings art closer to the people.
Collaboration
The best theatre happens when artists, audiences, and communities build something together. I thrive in spaces where ideas bounce, perspectives clash, and new possibilities emerge through collective creativity.
JOY
Even in the heaviest stories, there’s joy in the act of creating and connecting. I want every project I work on to remind people—myself included—why we fell in love with theatre in the first place.
