Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, Avi has produced theatre around the world. As one of one of seven producers to participate in the Old Vic Theatre’s 2011 TS Eliot US / UK Exchange, Avi travelled to London to produce a brand new play on the stage of the Old Vic Theatre.
In addition to producing, she has worked as a PA, dresser, stage manager, director and casting assistant, and moved to New York to figure out which of these things she wanted to do the most. After working on the management team at Broadway Asia International and producing a few indie theatre shows, she finagled her way into a job at Authentic, where she enjoys annoying Bob with questions, figuring out how to organize the storage closet, and being able to catch the ferry to work.
