The Founder
STEPHANIE ROSENBERG
FOUNDER AND CEO
Stephanie Rosenberg is a Tony Award wining Broadway producer and the Executive Producer of the Grammy Award-winning album for The Color Purple (Broadway Cast Recording). She is the founder of The Empress Productions LLC, where she develops high-quality theatrical productions and albums designed to create unforgettable audience experiences.
​
Stephanie’s career in theatre began onstage. She earned her BFA from Adelphi University, trained at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre under the Meisner tradition of Sanford Meisner, and apprenticed at Williamstown Theatre Festival. This artistic foundation gave her a deep understanding of how every designer, technician, and performer collaborates to build a Broadway show.
Her transition into producing came through mentorship and curiosity. After assisting remotely on a Broadway benefit in exchange for learning the mechanics of producing, she co-produced the first Broadway Meows benefit alongside Michael Roderick.
In 2011, Stephanie chose to shift her focus fully from performing to producing. She was accepted into the Commercial Theater Institute and awarded the Fredric B. Vogel Scholarship — a full-ride honor recognizing exceptional promise in producing. Before completing the program, she was already Associate Producing on Gore Vidal's The Best Man. Soon after, she was invited to guest lecture at The Wharton School on the business of Broadway.
Her producing credits span Broadway, tours, and cast recordings, including Matilda the Musical, Anastasia, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, On the Town, and numerous original works and albums.
Stephanie believes producing is about more than mounting a show — it’s about creating moments people remember for the rest of their lives.

“At the end of the show, when everyone is applauding, I think — I was a small part of a memory they’ll carry for the rest of their lives. Helping people make happy memories is my little way of changing the world.”
