OOTB was founded in 2016 by Liz Flemming, a legally blind artist, to create space for historically underrepresented artists. The company aims to challenge audiences' expectations and create a more equitable theatre industry through innovative, site-specific productions, and inclusive casting. When the New Ohio Theatre closed its doors, OOTB was selected to take over programming at the Christopher St. location.
