ABOUT
Glass Fox Productions is an audio storytelling company based in Pittsburgh, PA. Through projects like Play On Words: A Theatrical Podcast, we are expanding what performance art can look and sound like. Our vision is to adapt the local storytelling and performance arts ecosystem to broaden audience reach and accessibility. We do that through our mission to create and promote accessible opportunities for local performance artists to tell stories and collaborate through audio.
​
Whether you are a voice actor who wants recording support, a theater company who wants to expand the reach and accessibility of your performances, or a storyteller who wants an opportunity to break into the local performing arts scene, Glass Fox Productions is here to support you along your story arc. We believe in uplifting voices that are heard less often by prioritizing diversity and inclusion of all backgrounds and abilities. You are an important part of our artistic community.
Let's hear you loud and clear.
