Chief Operating Officer, Stage Access
Once hailed as a “whiz kid producer” by Variety’s legendary Army Archerd, Tripp continually strives to live up to the credit as an experienced “triple-threat”: an accomplished executive, line, and creative producer. He specializes in balancing creative vision with business needs, and has brought his talents to productions on both costs, including Teachers’ Lounge at the Abingdon Theater and The Melody Lingers On at the El Portal.
As Chief Operating Officer of Stage Access, Tripp is combining his production experience with his strong business background to expand the only company in North America that produces, distributes and licenses classical arts content across multiple platforms – theatrically, through a co-production relationship with IMAX, and through its own on-demand streaming service, STAGE ACCESS.
An avid volunteer, Tripp has served in senior leadership board positions for non-profit organizations focused on the arts and education, including president of The Mask and Wig Club in Philadelphia; the board of directors of Penn Alumni; and class president at the University of Pennsylvania, which awarded Tripp its 2017 Young Alumni Award of Merit.
As a theatrical producer, Tripp is managing member of Quince Street Productions, whose upcoming works include the highly anticipated revival of Me and My Girl and the play Public Charge.
As a motion-picture producer, his latest films, Renée Fleming’s Cities That Sing – Paris and Renée Fleming’s Cities That Sing – Venice, both premiere this fall in IMAX theaters worldwide.
