Episode 6: Building Trust with Anant Das

Anant Das (“un-nunth”) (He/Him) is a theatre and film creative producer and CEO of Broadway Boxed Up, the longest-running theatre-themed subscription box with a focus on elevating BIPOC, Deaf, and disabled theatrical voices, connecting fans with the Broadway world, and reimagining theatregoers’ relationship with merchandise. He is a co-producer of A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL and THE PIANO LESSON on Broadway as well as KINKY BOOTS Off-Broadway. In addition, Anant has experience as an investor with A STRANGE LOOP (2022 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical), FAIRYCAKES, the Museum of Broadway, and the Broadway Makers Marketplace (the first Broadway Pop-Up Shop for fans, by fans) as well as various theatre and film projects in early development. With a background in financial valuation, computer science, and as a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Anant is passionate about the intersection of theatre, tech, and finance, as well as energized to increase access to both theatrical opportunities and theatre education. He was a panelist on “The Get Together Live” weekly web show exploring the latest on theatre, technology, and accessibility. Recognized as one of the “Class of 2019’s Best & Brightest” by Poets&Quants, Anant’s interest in exploring how innovation can disrupt the arts began when he attended the top ranked public high school in the US. He is a 2022 member of both the TEDxBroadway Young Professionals cohort and the Theatre Producers of Color cohort and serves as a Board Member of the New York Theatre Workshop’s 4th Street Bar Association.

In his free time, you can find him screening films for the Washington West Film Festival, taking an American Sign Language class, belting a Sara Bareilles album or his one-man show of WAITRESS, trying that restaurant he saw once on Instagram, or convincing himself that he will wake up at dawn for a yoga or rowing class.
