PRODUCER
Theatrical
Socks Whitmore came into theatrical producing by heading the workshop productions of their original shows We Are Here (2019) and Back to One: A Coming of Self Musical (2020), and the producing bug stuck. They’ve also served as a producer and stage manager for musical concerts, an event planner for workshops and resource fairs, a marketing/creative assistant for immersive experiences, and they have an unusual love for writing emails, playing with spreadsheets, and creating and organizing Google Drives.

Digital
Socks Whitmore’s digital production experience spans everything from music videos to indie games to podcasts. Most recently, they served as a co-producer and marketing lead of the horror-comedy fiction podcast, Georgie Romero Is Done For, created by Kat Shea, and they are currently the artistic director of an upcoming 2D musical platformer by Bolero Game Studio. For the games Georgia (2019) and Seeing Gray (2021), Socks functioned as writer, director, artistic director, acting director, and producer. (And lead voice actor to boot!)
