GIGI PRITZKER is co-owner with partner Deborah Del Prete of Dee Gee Entertainment. Dee Gee is a full service entertainment production company dealing in film, television and theatre. They own one of L.A.'s landmark cultural institutions, The Coronet Theatre, which is the focal point of their multi-faceted company.
To date Dee Gee Entertainment has completed a feature project for HBO, three feature films and documentaries for ABC, BBC. CBC. NHK. PBS and syndicated television. The company is currently working on a slate of six film projects. In 1996 the company purchased the historic Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles. As a board member of the Playwrights' Kitchen Ensemble, a non-profit play discovery and reading series, she and Del Prete invited them to use the Coronet Theatre as their home base. They are currently working on a number of theatre based projects.
Pritzker studied anthropology at Stanford University where she also taught autistic and schizophrenic children at the local United Way center. After a year of study at documentary film school in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she moved to New York and worked as an assistant in the film business. In 1985 she began producing with the BBC and during that time she met Deborah Del Prete. Together, they defected and began Dee Gee Entertainment.
