​​Inspired by a desire to work behind the scenes as well as on stage, Helen founded her own theatre company in 2009, directing summer shows for children and teens. Based in the Chicago suburbs, Hatbox Theatrix (formerly DIY Teen Theatre) staged full-scale musical theatre productions for grades 3 to 9. In 2014, Helen expanded the company in order to work with young adults, providing a unique opportunity for rising professional actors and college students. ​

​
Hatbox Theatrix offers private singing, acting, guitar, and piano lessons year-round and various summer workshop offerings. In 2020, Hatbox Theatrix offered a series of weekly free musical readings for elementary and middle school students, incorporating an educational lecture on the show with a full read-through and discussion, encouraging each child to share their voice and explore multiple roles. A monthly play-reading group for high school actors was formed with the same format to target age-appropriate scripts.
