ABOUT

Robin Rothstein - Author of THE ROAD 101Hi there! My name is Robin Rothstein and I am a New York City-based theatre professional with knowledge of the commercial touring industry, oftentimes referred to as “The Road.”

I am Director of Operations at Broadway Across America, one of the largest presenters of live theater throughout 35+ North American cities, and was formerly a Booking Associate at The Road Company, where I booked the North American tour of famed illusionist, David Copperfield.

While The Road definitely offers potential riches and other rewards and is the brass ring for many looking to make a profit in the commercial theater business, it is also a complex universe that is best navigated when entered into with some understanding and a sense of perspective. With THE ROAD 101 I hope to provide basic information and insights into the business side of commercial theater touring designed for folks out there not well-acquainted with this area of the theatre industry.

MY OTHER LIVES…

When I’m not doing my Director of Operations thing, I am a playwright, bookwriter, lyricist, occasional contributing reviewer for Time Out New York, an Arts Advocate, and an Appointed Member of Community Board 2, Manhattan where I serve on the Arts & Institutions Committee. If you are interested in learning more about me in these capacities, please check out my website: www.robinrothstein.com. You can also check out my profile on LinkedIn and follow me on Twitter!
