MEET THE PRODUCER ZACHARY LEZBERG

555 8th Avenue, Suite 909 New York, NY 10018 (212)404-2345 Fax: (212)253-4123 TheSmallBusinessExpo.com Info@TheShowProducers.com

Zachary W. Lezberg, a New York City-based producer and entrepreneur who currently owns and operates theater, film, and live event production company The Show Producers, has long been passionate about developing unforgettable productions. His 15 years of industry experience began in 2000, when, as a freshman at the University of Miami, Lezberg launched Quantum Entertainment.

A student-run film and theater production organization, Quantum Entertainment provides individuals with the coveted opportunity to gain firsthand experience in all aspects of theatrical, film and live event production. At the time of his graduation in 2004, which also saw him honored with the “Most Influential Student on Campus Award,” Lezberg had grown Quantum Entertainment from its founding group of five members to over 800 students. Today, the group is ranked as one of the most popular campus organizations, and has produced a range of popular and well-reviewed musical productions, including revivals of The Rocky Horror Show, A Chorus Line, and West Side Story.

Upon graduation, Lezberg began work as the Assistant Director of Business Affairs with The Araca Group, a leading Broadway production company that has produced world renowned blockbuster musical hits such as Wicked and Urinetown, as well as numerous other Tony Award-winning musicals and plays.

His successful four-year tenure at The Araca Group is also accompanied by an array of other industry experience, including notable turns as a Casting Associate for NBC’s hit television series, Fear Factor; a Production Coordinator for Universal Studios overseeing films and television commercials; and the producer of multiple films, including a winner at the Entertainment Incubator’s Miami Film Festival.

Lezberg has also led the influential production company The Show Producers since its founding in 2008. The company is now producing SMALL BUSINESS EXPO, the largest tradeshow and networking event for business owners & entrepreneurs in 10 of the top Small Business Markets in the country including: New York City, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago and Atlanta (to name a few) with over 50,000 attendees annually.

Currently, Lezberg is developing two productions that are slated to debut on Broadway within the next three years, alongside a creative team that includes a two-time Emmy Award winner and co-producers of the awardwinning Green Day musical, American Idiot.
