Long Wharf Mourns Passing of Rosenblum

Long Wharf Theatre mourns the death of M. Edgar Rosenblum, the organization’s executive director from 1970 to 1996, serving alongside Artistic Director Arvin Brown.

Rosenblum died Saturday evening in his home in Woodstock, NY. He was 78.

“Edgar was a knowledgeable and efficient managing director,” said Founder Trustee Ruth Lord. “He meant a lot to the institution and I’m very sad to hear of his passing.”

Rosenblum left Long Wharf Theatre in 1996, serving with New York’s Circle-in-the-Square and the Theatre for a New Audience. He is the former chairman of the board of the American Arts Alliance, founding president of the National Corporate Theatre Fund and former president of the League of Resident Theatres.
