ABOUT ADAM ODSESS-RUBIN
At the helm of the Obie Award winning National Queer Theater, my journey has been dedicated to championing LGBTQ narratives and fostering inclusivity through the arts. With over seven years of leadership, the organization has thrived, impacting over New Yorkers annually and raising substantial funds to advance our mission. My role encompasses managing diverse teams, recruiting talent, and crafting strategic alliances with pivotal community partners. Beyond administrative duties, my passion for storytelling is evident in my work as an artist and educator. Leveraging theatre as a transformative tool, I engage with students across a spectrum of backgrounds, employing methods like Theatre of the Oppressed to drive social change. This blend of artistic creativity and educational mentorship underscores my commitment to using the arts as a catalyst for advocacy and empowerment.
