The Team
Who We Are
Katie Triplett
Co-Founder
Katie is a director, writer and producer from a small town in northwest Illinois. She earned her B.A in Theatre Directing and Management from The University of Nebraska - Lincoln where she assisted, produced and directed plays for the University Theatre, the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, and the student-run theatre company Theatrix; she also interned with the Saratoga Shakespeare Company and Powerhouse Theatre during her undergraduate career. Katie specializes in directing Shakespeare and new play development, but she has a soft spot in her heart for both making and watching musical theatre. Her artistic manifesto is guided by the freedom that comes with taking risks, as well as a belief in radical inclusion and accessibility for artists and audiences alike.
Delanie Nelson
Co-Founder
Delanie originally hails from a small town in North Dakota where she learned early on the importance of creating your own opportunities. She holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from Minnesota State University, Mankato. Delanie is an experienced actor and singer having begun her professional career over a decade ago (wow she feels old). However, one of her favorite stages she has ever performed on was at the Atlantic City Boardwalk as Miss North Dakota at the 2015 Miss America competition. She takes great joy in telling queer and female centered stories, whether they are stories that make you laugh, cry or make you think and believes that your voice and the power of choice is your most powerful tool. After all these years and all the stages she has been on, it is the role of lifting up other voices as a co-founder and producer at AnyWay that has been the most fulfilling of all.
