New Autobiography Presents Insight into the Theatre Industry
Martin Markinson announces publication of 'Come On Along & Listen to My Life in Theatre'
SANTA FE, N.M., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Martin Markinson looks back at how working hard and daring to be different helped him become a successful Broadway producer, theatre owner and movie producer in his debut autobiography, "Come On Along & Listen to My Life in Theatre" (published by Archway Publishing).
Markinson relays his journey from an outsider of little means to a self-made successful Broadway theatre owner and producer. Concentrating on his ownership of the Helen Hayes Theatre, the personal narrative talks about the author's failures, success, and involvement in both production of shows and operation of the theatres in which they appear. Markinson reveals what it takes to be a Broadway producer, including stories about the shows he made and the people in them.
"I want the reader to have fun, understanding and knowledge," Markinson says, adding that he believes his book holds appeal for "anyone who has ever been or wants to see plays or musicals should enjoy the inside stories" and "any person who wants a career in the Arts."
