Together, three-time Tony Award-winning producers Alyah Chanelle Scott and Thomas Laub co-founded Runyonland Productions in 2018. Runyonland is a full-service production company for Broadway, off-Broadway, touring, television, film, and special events, with a hands-on approach and a passion for bold, unapologetic storytelling.
Runyonland was originally founded in Ann Arbor, MI and quickly grew a reputation for bringing hyper-local, hyper-relevant pieces of theater to life regionally across North America. In recent years, Runyonland has been a part of some of the most innovative, unique, and critically-acclaimed shows on Broadway and beyond, with a focus on telling stories from bold artists while leveraging innovative business practices. Select credits include Appropriate, Gutenberg! The Musical!, Passing Strange, The Wiz, David Byrne's American Utopia, Parade, Ben Platt: Live at the Palace, The Old Man & the Pool, Slave Play, and The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window.
Beyond Broadway, Alyah is a 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient and currently stars in Mindy Kaling's hit series "The Sex Lives of College Girls" on HBOMax, while writing, directing, and acting in film and television projects. Formerly the Head of Production Planning for Apple Studios, Thomas is a studio executive leading business development for a global portfolio of studio infrastructure and soundstage development. Both are proud graduates of the University of Michigan.
