To whet the appetite, STAGES will be revisiting conversations with Australian artists who have conquered The Great White Way in a series of Broadway SPOTLIGHT episodes - brought to you by Academy Travel.
Howard Sherman, though not Australian, is a guest we’ve featured on the STAGES podcast due to his extensive relationship with the theatre of Broadway and New York.

Howard was executive director of the American Theatre Wing from 2003 to 2011. During that time, he served on the Tony Awards Management and Administration Committees.

Howard was the first General Manager of Goodspeed Musicals, working on 24 new and classic musicals, including the U.S. Premiere of Alan Ayckbourn and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s By Jeeves.

He has moderated artist conversations for public audiences for more than 30 years, and when STAGES spoke with him he had just released a book on the eternal fascination and magic of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town - a classic of the American Theatre cannon.
