"...an environment naturally suited to or associated with one, like a fish in water..."

Fish In Water Productions is the artistic endeavor of two passionate actors, Ellen Fraher and Toni Salisbury, who met during a summer intensive acting program at The William Esper Studio in NYC. Both went on to complete the two-year acting program at The William Esper Studio under the teaching of Terry Knickerbocker, respectively. Serendipitously, a few years later they ran into each other again in a playwriting workshop and have been supporting each other's work ever since.

MISSION
As a nonprofit serving artists, our mission is to be a vehicle that provides underrepresented opportunities. We believe deeply in the unique ability of dramatic art to tell us the truth about ourselves, each other and the world we inhabit. We aspire to exercise artistic flexibility and integrity, not only to tackle established material that inspires and challenges us, but to develop and produce our own and other's new work.
