courtney dickerson

Courtney is a San Francisco–based producer–project manager who thrives behind the scenes, building the architecture that ensures blind creativity survives contact with cold, harsh reality.

Born out of experimental and improvisational theatre, she began her creative career co-founding two avant-garde companies in Los Angeles and then New York, acting as producer, playwright, costume designer, and performer.

She has deftly applied her creator- and producer-driven disciplines to the execution of Dead Jeni.

Her theatrical credits include producer, co-writer, and performer for The Expatriates (NY Fringe, now immortalized in an anthology), and producer and performer for Charles Busch’s cult-classic romp Theodora, She-Bitch of Byzantium, where she forged a long collaboration with director A.B. Disarufino.
