“I wanna be a Produce r of a hit show on Broadway...I wanna be a Produce r...e at a t S a r d i ’s e ve r yd a y...” ~ Me l B r ook s
A letter from our President & Artistic Director
We are asked all the time what is a Producer and what do they do for Music Hall?
Producers make it happen. In theatre as in life, producers are the entrepreneurs and innovators who lead
the way. At Music Hall, the producers are the special group of supporters who dedicate time and financial
support to our mission of presenting cutting edge, often avant-garde, diverse
programming from around the world. We often work together, plan fundraising events
together, and personally meet and welcome the artists that perform at Music Hall to
Detroit. At the highest levels, we travel to New York and other cities together, looking
for talent, and what is current in arts and culture worldwide, with the intention of
bringing it home to Southeast Michigan. It is all of our jobs to take care of the cultural
well-being of our community, and I hope you will consider joining our group of very
cool people. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and... it’s important!
We keep good company.

Our Mission
The historic Music Hall, through its presentations and productions (including commissions of original artistic
work), provides Southeastern Michigan with high quality performing arts programs and education that reflect
the diverse mix of cultures that make up our community. Music Hall is Detroit’s “People’s Theater” – the place
for high quality but non-elitist performing arts and education with an emphasis on dance, theater and music,
particularly Jazz. Music Hall aims to be the most accessible, inclusive and culturally diverse performing arts
institution in the country.
