Roni Ragone & Bailey Jordan Garcia
Fresh Binder Productions was a dream of Bailey Jordan Garcia's and Roni Ragone's for a while. After longing for a theatrical home for emerging transgender/non-binary/genderqueer playwrights, they decided to make their own.
In January 2024, they launched "Fresh Binder Productions".
​This company currently focuses mainly on their two different types of writers groups. In Spring 2024, they launched their first writer's cohort which involved 6 playwrights who would alternate bringing in and workshopping outside projects, weekly. Their Fall 2024 cohort is a bit different -- bringing together 6 new playwrights to create individual pieces under a collective theme. For future iterations of the cohort, they will go back and forth between these two models! ​
Spring 2024 Cohort Members (L to R): Bailey Jordan Garcia, Samekh Resh, Kyle A. Smith, Christian Flynn, Alex Moon, Roni Ragone.

Fresh Binder also produces staged readings, such as Roni Ragone's "Up Strung Down" in January 2024, and plans to do more in the future!
