VICTORIA GRUENBERG

Victoria produces and directs live experiences.

I am a creative producer of theater, live events, and experiences.

I cut my teeth producing a play whose venue caught fire the night of our first performance. You may have seen it in Vulture’s Top 10 Plays of 2025, Staff Picks, New York Magazine, or Helen Shaw’s Bluesky.

At Under the Radar 2026, you’d have found me at Onassis ONX’s beautiful new Tribeca space producing a 3D light sculpture installation and performance piece.

I work a lot with Lucas Katler Productions, because Lucas Katler is a great producer, and because the binds of high school speech & debate know no bounds. Ask us about Florida in the 2000s or what we’re working on next.

I am also a director for theater and audio.

I assisted a stacked season at Studio Theater and went on to direct with the Williamstown Theater Festival directing‍ corps and Serials at The Flea cohort. I’ve directed workshops, readings, and full productions with brilliant playwrights and actors whom I am always recommending. Some favorite projects include Fiona Gorry-Hines’ It Will Rise Soon Enough at Columbia, Theresa Rebeck’s Seared at Gloucester Stage, and Rachel Bonds’ Jack of Hearts at Williamstown.

For me, scripts have a sound more than a look. My first instincts are about beats, accelerations, crescendos, and timbres, and I seek out collaborators by way of their natural rhythms and voices, like assembling an orchestra.

I have a background in classical piano and voice training, which lends itself naturally to my work as an audio director and producer for live and scripted podcasts.

Across both disciplines, my work is guided by a belief that performance can rehearse a more generous and imaginative future, inspired by Jill Dolan’s theory of the Utopian Performative. I believe in creating experiences that instill awe, curiosity, or an urge to nurture something new.
