The Broadway community will celebrate the life of Seth Popper on Tuesday, September 30th from 4:00pm - 5:00pm at the Richard Rodgers Theatre at 226 West 46th Street.
Seth M.

As Director, Seth oversaw the League's multi-employer bargaining function, negotiating and administering the industry's 17 labor contracts with local and national unions representing the industry's directors, choreographers, actors, musicians, and stagecraft, as well as front-of-house personnel.
Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of The Broadway League, commented, "Our dear friend and respected colleague Seth Popper was a special person who we will always remember. Our industry wishes to commemorate Seth's exceptional passion for life and love of Broadway with musical tributes and the sharing of memories."
The Broadway League has established the Popper Education Trust Fund on behalf of Seth and his wife Stacey Zorowitz Popper's children Jake, age 9, and Avery, age 7. For more information regarding a donation, please contact Myrna Stavisky at mstavisky@broadway.org
