Summit Entertainment Group

Summit Entertainment is a boutique style agency representing designers, directors & choreographers of theater, opera, dance and live performance. The groundwork was laid in the mid-eighties when Russ Rosensweig, then taking the General Management world by storm at noted Broadway general management firm Joseph Harris & Associates, negotiated a Broadway contract as a favor for a friend, executing the deal using a typewriter and whiteout. After a few one-offs, word of her prowess soon spread to friends, friends of friends, and former classmates from the Yale School of Drama, and within a few years, Summit Entertainment Group LLC had taken shape. In 2008, Russ was joined by intrepid former SUNY Binghamton classmate Jeffrey Eisenberg, who brought with him a wealth of multi-media executive experience in development, production, and marketing in the entertainment industry and began shepherding new works by emerging artists at the helm of Summit’s Development and Emerging Works Division. The team grew again in 2013 when Nicole Zolad came on board as the office’s organizational/administrative “fairy godmother” and began her training in “the art of the deal” under Russ’ tutelage. For over 30 years, Summit Entertainment Group has maintained its original commitment to providing highly personalized representation to below-the-line talent while establishing strong working relationships with producers and arts organizations. Today, Summit Entertainment Group is proud to represent a curated roster of over 90 set, costume, lighting, sound/composition, projection/video, hair/wig, and make-up designers on more than 500 productions a year on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in regional theatre, national and international opera and dance, corporate performance, and museum installations.
