Tessa Welsch (she/her/hers)

Tessa grew up watching plays with jaw dropped and wandering art museums eyes wide. She has always had a soft spot for these art forms. Such a passion was fed by attending Marymount Manhattan College and studying Theatrical Directing and Art History. Her education opened her eyes to the myriad of ways human experience can be expressed. She finds these expressions beautiful and meaningful, worthy of being shared. Post-education, Tessa’s passion is to make art (both fine and theatrical) more accessible to the working class. She believes that through empathy, grounding and structural change, art can become less intimidating while still maintaining its boldness. She is thrilled to contribute to the Verge Theater community as Interim Operations Manager.
