In her new role, Chin will work alongside Heitner to oversee operations and support the company’s continued growth and expansion.

I’m so excited to have Amanda joining me in this next chapter.”

Amanda Chin joins OTI as chief operating officer after four years at Tony Award-winning producing and general management company Wagner Johnson Productions, where she worked on more than 30 productions, including Stereophonic, Good Night, and Good Luck, John Proctor is the Villain, and Oedipus. Beyond her work in theater production, Amanda volunteers with the National Asian Artists Project and helped develop the NAAP Broadway Community Chorus, which has grown from performances at PS 124 to a residency at the Edison Hotel.

This new production will bring Spring Awakening into an intimate Off-Broadway setting, returning the musical to the raw force and urgency of Frank Wedekind’s once-banned 1891 play. Feral, honest, compassionate, and unflinching, the production will explore the experience of young people caught between desire, repression, fear, and discovery — then and now.
