James Simon, a twice Tony-nominated theatre producer known for his influential work on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and in the UK, has been featured in a newly released industry spotlight article by one of the UK’s most respected arts publications. The feature explores Simon’s career, creative philosophy, and his growing impact on both sides of the Atlantic.
The piece highlights Simon’s unique approach to storytelling and production, showcasing his ability to champion bold, distinctive voices across a variety of theatrical platforms.
It places special focus on Simon’s advocacy for Off-Broadway and fringe theatre scenes, which he calls essential to the health of the industry. “They’re where risks happen,” he says. “Where you hear a new voice or see an idea no one else would try.”
Simon, a board member of Untitled Theater Company 61 and contributor to Theater Resources Unlimited, shares lessons relevant to UK creatives, particularly those building careers outside of commercial theatre. He also discusses the importance of mentorship, long-term artistic vision, and cross-border collaboration.
The publication’s spotlight feature frames Simon as a quiet but vital figure in the evolving landscape of global theatre, bridging gaps between New York and London, Broadway and the West End, established institutions and emerging talent.
