James Wetzel

For over a decade, James has been developing, curating and producing immersive experiences and events for audiences in Boston, New York and beyond.

Previously, he was the Programming Manager for the American Repertory Theater’s OBERON in Cambridge, MA, helping to establish the space as an internationally-recognized and sought after stage for groundbreaking new work.

At the Museum of Science he consistently combines art, science and technology, creating innovative programming specifically designed for adult audiences, that continues to experiment with live music, film, large-scale gaming installations, storytelling, drag performance, theatre and more. Since 2016, his focus has been on developing nightlife experiences in the Museum's state-of-the-art Charles Hayden Planetarium, pushing the boundaries of the fulldome as both a performance venue and technology to unprecedented levels.

Recent producing highlights include the award-winning series Coleslaw’s Corner: Boston’s Best Drag Queens and a live taping of the critically-acclaimed podcast Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness.
