Tony Award-winning theater producers Christopher Ketner and Hunter Regian have announced the launch of Origin Story Productions, a new NYC-based theatrical production company that formalizes a creative partnership that brings together a portfolio of co-producing credits including last year’s A Chorus Line 50th Anniversary concert at the Shubert Theatre, the revival of Sunset Boulevard starring Nicole Scherzinger, and other recent Broadway productions include Waiting for Godot and Oedipus.
The pair’s West End credits include, among others, Evita and The Tempest featuring Sigourney Weaver making her West End debut as part of Jamie Lloyd Company’s acclaimed Shakespeare Season at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
“There is something incredibly meaningful about being a part of someone’s origin story,” said Ketner in a statement. “Recognizing exceptional talent in every facet of our business and providing a place for that talent to flourish – rebuilding community in the spirit of collaboration – is what we are committed to producing.”
Origin Story Productions will serve as Executive Producers of the Entertainment Community Fund Gala on June 1 and is actively co-producing several highly anticipated productions on Broadway, including Every Brilliant Thing, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and Proof, as well as Teeth ’n’ Smiles in the West End. Additional lead producing and executive producing projects are to be announced.
“Partnering with Christopher and formally joining forces felt like a natural evolution,” said Regian. “We share a belief in celebrating the next generation of theatrical voices while honoring the artists and producers who paved the way before us. We approach this work with deep respect for the legacy of this industry, and an equal commitment to building what comes next.”
