Prior to the formation of 101 Productions, Ms. Orshan assisted R. Tyler Gatchell, Jr. at the general management firm Gatchell & Neufeld, Ltd., where she worked by his side on more than 25 Broadway and touring shows, including the record-breaking international tour of The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford, where she met the show’s then-Company Manager Jeff Wilson. Three years later, the two joined forces to launch 101 Productions, named after the animated Disney film they both love. Over the course of their careers together, Wendy and Jeff have worked with first-time producers, veteran producers, and everyone in between, and are well-respected in the industry for their hands-on approach with early-career producers. They also serve as Executive Producer on many productions, taking on a more active role beyond the traditional general management duties.
