Founded in 2006 by Avery Willis Hoffman, Avery Productions is dedicated to uplifting artistic projects across a wide range of creative disciplines, including theater, opera, dance, music, and visual art.

Throughout my career, I have worked across many artistic disciplines - opera, dance, theater, visual arts, exhibitions, music, tv and film/video - in a variety of roles including Writer, Director, Producer, Dramaturg, Content Developer, Researcher, Public Programming and Performance Curator, As a Creative Producer, I have supported the incubation of numerous artistic projects, and produced multiple large scale convenings of artists and scholars.
As a Marshall Scholar, I earned a DPhil (PhD) and MSt (Masters) in Classical Languages and Literature from University of Oxford, and a BA (Bachelors) in Classics and English Literature (double honors) from Stanford University. I am also a proud graduate of The Westonbirt School (UK) and The Lawrenceville School (NJ).

While at Oxford, I helmed The Oxford Classical Drama Society, produced and directed numerous projects includingThe Oxford Greek Festival and The Trojan Women at the Oxford Playhouse.
