9 Celebrating Jimmy Nederlander James M. Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, is the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spans 70 years, Jimmy has amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Chicago: Auditorium and Bank of America Theaters, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and Oriental Theaters; in Los Angeles: Pantages and the Greek; and in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion. He has produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisions Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him. Jimmy is beloved by the industry and is the recipient of many distinguished honors including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut (2014), the Exploring the Arts Foundation Award (2014), the United Nations Foundation Champion Award (2012), The Broadway League’s Schoenfeld Vision for Arts Education Award (2011), the New York Pop’s Man of the Year (2008), and the special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004). To mark the Nederlanders’ centennial in 2012, The New York Landmarks Conservancy proclaimed Jimmy to be a “Living Landmark.” The National High School Musical Theatre Awards is called the Jimmy Award in celebration of his career-long dedication to supporting young talent. This year, Jimmy celebrated his 93rd birthday.

27 2015 League Educator Apple Awards®
The Broadway League has bestowed the League Educator Apple Award since 2003 to recognize administrators, school district heads and advocates from around the country for their commitment to arts education, and their work in collaboration with Broadway League member venues that present Touring Broadway shows. Through this award and other initiatives, The Broadway League encourages the ongoing development of theatre education programs around the country. These are this year’s three recipients:
Recipient: Cristina Gutierrez-Brewster, Community Program Manager Organization name: Academy Prep of Tampa, Tampa, FL Nominator: Straz Center for the Performing Arts Mrs. Gutierrez-Brewster is being recognized for her visionary leadership and her ability to unify all those she comes in contact with. The Straz Center worked closely with Mrs. Gutierrez-Brewster on their Motown the Musical Project. She Cristina was able to assist with attaining student “buy-in” and parent support to make the Gutierrez-Brewster program a success. During this project, the students deconstructed some of the classic chord structure and rhythms, which included a “treasure hunt” for Motown influences in modern popular music. Mrs. Gutierrez-Brewster helped to make sure the students were prepared and had all the resources they needed. She made sure the students focused on the curriculum, but encouraged them to have fun and learn about themselves in the process. As a result of her dedication to the students and desire for them to learn, spin-off relationships in arts partnerships have also occurred.
Recipient: Rosa Rocha, Board President Organization name: Friends of Down Syndrome, Houston, TX Nominator: Theatre Under The Stars Rosa Rocha is Board President of the Friends of Down Syndrome, a non-profit organization serving the educational and vocational needs of adults with Down syndrome. She recognizes the benefits of arts engagement for individuals with disabilities. Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) collaborated with Rosa to bring the arts to her program. TUTS provided a choreographer to teach weekly dance classes to high school and college-aged students centered on Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella in preparation for their attendance at a performance of the show at the Hobby Center and performance at their first annual fundraiser, Cinderella Ball. Their performance at Rosa Rocha the event was so successful that they were then invited to perform at a local conference on disability.
Recipient: Bradley Wingate, Academic Specialist for Visual and Performing Arts Organization name: Greenville County School District, Greenville, SC Nominator: Peace Center for the Performing Arts Bradley Wingate is passionate about keeping the arts a valued, core academic subject for all students in Greenville County Schools and has championed a district-wide focus for providing high-quality arts experiences for all students. He is a strong partner in collaboration, working very diligently to motivate educator participation in various programs at the Peace Center and throughout the community. With Bradley’s partnership, 85 arts educators in Greenville County participated in a 2014-2015 Bradley Wingate professional development initiative to engage directly with the touring Broadway productions of Once, Pippin and Wicked, and gain new perspective for their art area by experiencing real-world applications in the professional touring theatre industry.
