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.

Our industry wishes to commemorate Seth's exceptional passion for life and love of Broadway with musical tributes and the sharing of memories."
