Rocco Landesman, Broadway Producer, to Lead National Arts Endowment - NYTimes.com:

Rocco Landesman, the colorful theatrical producer and race-track aficionado who brought hits like “Big River,” “Angels in America” and “The Producers” to Broadway, has been nominated as the next chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, the White House said on Tuesday.

Rocco was on our roundtables for HOW THEATER FAILED AMERICA Off-Broadway—he's a tremendous choice, and his nomination is the highest-profile political moment for American theater in living memory.
