Feedback

This is a working site for journalists, marketing and PR professionals, and community leaders.

All are welcome, of course, but you won't find it to be exceptionally flashy. 

I invite all of you to drop me an e-mail using the Feedback link above to let me know what you think of the site.  Let me know about ease of use, relevancy, and especially any typos you find!

We at BNL Department of Music appreciate your interest in our efforts.

Proscenium Arts and Entertainment

Stephen Paulsen started Proscenium Arts and Entertainment (as Proscenium Systems) in the spring of 1996 to provide IT, Marketing, and Management Consulting services to Arts, Culture, and Entertainment businesses.  He had completed his graduate degree program earning an MFA in Theatre Management and Arts Administration from the program at the University of Alabama and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.  Upon returning to New York City, he combined his MFA with his 10-years' of experience in the IT field to help NYC nonprofits confront the particular needs of their organizations.  His clients included theatres and performing arts organizations on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Way-Off-Broadway, as well as other cultural and educational nonprofits.  Since then, he has worked for a ticketing services software company, and a large Performing Arts Center.  He's been in Bedford since 2003 and has worked with some local organizations before starting his work with BNL.  He can be reached at proscenium@mindspring.com.
