James Rocco
Vice President of Programming, Producing Artistic Director
Ordway Center for the Performing Arts
At Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, James Rocco is responsible for producing, presenting and booking theatrical programming on the Main Stage (1,900 seats) and The McKnight Theatre (300 seats). He is a member of The Broadway League, Elephant Eye Theatricals, Five Cent Productions and the Independent Producers’ Network, where he has participated as a producing partner on “Legally Blonde,” “The Color Purple,” “Curtains” and “Edward Scissorhands.” Rocco’s focus for all aspects of programming at the Ordway is to bring the world to the Twin Cities’ front door – this includes Broadway touring musicals, international music artists, shows produced right in the Twin Cities and more. His unique experiences on both sides of the footlight have given him a deep understanding of administrative, technical and artistic elements of every production. Rocco will talk about how all the elements come together in well-balanced performing arts season. |
