David Rothenberg Biography
David Rothenberg is the founder and first Executive Director of The Fortune Society, a position he served for 18 years. The advocacy and self-help program for formerly incarcerated men and women has a unique origin.
Rothenberg, a producer and publicist of over 200 Broadway and off-Broadway plays, presented John Herbert’s 1967 prison drama Fortune and Men’s Eyes. From post-play dialogues, The Fortune Society literally began by leaping through the proscenium arch into the New York City scene.
As a national spokesman for the rights of inmates and former prisoners, Rothenberg has served on numerous independent commissions and government advisory councils. He was a member of the New York City Human Rights Commission.
In 2002, the Fortune Academy was born, a unique residence for formerly incarcerated men and women. With four residents, he created a play, The Castle, which has been performing since 2008, including a year off-Broadway.
His memoir, Fortune In My Eyes, was published in 2013.
In the theatre, Rothenberg was associated with some of the most memorable productions of the last half-century, including the original production of Hair, John Gielgud’s The School for Scandal, Richard Burton’s Hamlet, Blue Man Group, The Boys In The Band, and a multitude of others.
He has hosted a weekly radio show, Any Saturday, on WBAI-FM for more than 40 years.
