TMTP LEADERSHIP

Picture

Founding Artistic Director

BILL RUDMAN
is an educator, broadcaster, producer and founder of The Musical Theater Project. As TMTP’s Artistic Director, he has created more than 100 concerts and cabarets that celebrate and share musical theater as a uniquely American art form. His radio programs, “Footlight Parade” and “On the Aisle,” are heard across the country on public radio stations, Public Radio Exchange (prx.org) and Sirius XM Satellite Radio. In 1983, he and New York author Ken Bloom co-founded Harbinger Records, a label that has won critical praise for albums devoted to the American musical and the Great American Songbook; the label is now a division of TMTP. In 2000 he became the first recipient of the Robert Bergman Award for his work in arts education and community outreach.

Managing Director

TRACEY DWYER

She was a teaching artist at Case Western reserve University for thirteen years, and has had the privilege of being selected as a Creative Workforce Fellow through the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (now Arts Cleveland) for her contributions to arts and medicine. She has also been instrumental in developing and implementing holistic and artist-centered programs that offer high-level niche and inclusive client and audience experiences.
