76 – Paul Libin - a podcast by Ken Davenport

Paul Libin is currently the Executive Vice President of Jujamcyn Theaters. In his 60 years of working in the theater, he had been a producer, theater owner, actor, box office treasurer, chairman of the Broadway League, labor negotiator, and stage manager. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Tony Awards in 2013.

Sit back and get ready to be educated and entertained by Papa Paul as he discusses:

How the GI Bill helped him get his start in the theater.

Why and when he built Circle in the Square.

How Marilyn Monroe (!) once helped him book a theater.

What has changed with Unions and Labor Negotiations since their early days.

How he’s kept his head up in an industry that can be so difficult.

You’re going to have a fistful of takeaways from this podcast, but the most important thing I learned is how important it is to love showing up to work every day, even after decades of doing this.  Is there any better sign of success than that?
