DISTINGUISHED LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD
ALBERT NOCCIOLINO serves as President & CEO of NAC Entertainment, Ltd., a
diversified entertainment and theatrical company specializing in the presentation of
National Touring Broadway shows in New York State (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse,
Binghamton, Elmira, Utica and Albany) and the State of Pennsylvania (Scranton and
Erie). In addition to directing the Broadway subscription season in these cities, Mr.
Nocciolino is also involved in the producing and co-producing of National Touring
Broadway shows and Broadway shows in New York.
Albert has been a Tony® Voter since 1982 and most recently served as the Co-Chair of
the Intra-Industry / Road Presenters Committee and Vice Chair of the Road of The
Broadway League, a founding member and Chairman of the National Touring Theatre
Council, and is past President of the Independent Presenters Network (IPN). He was
elected to the Broadway League’s Board of Governors in 1994 and currently serves on
the following committees: Executive Committee, Road Presenters/Intra-Industry
Committee, Finance Committee, Governance Committee, Government Committee, and
Membership Committee.
“There is no road member who has been involved in as many leadership positions and
committees as our immediate past Vice Chairman, Al Nocciolino,” says Charlotte St.
Martin, President of the Broadway League. “Al was Vice Chair of the Road for years and
his passion and dedication to this organization is simply spectacular. He is a one-of-akind member who makes a difference in everything that he does for the business of
Broadway nationwide.”
“Broadway is a vital national industry. League members worked tirelessly this season to
bring Broadway shows to over 200 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Touring
Broadway contributes $3.2 billion to local economies across the U.S. Coupled with the
$12.6 billion dollar economic impact for New York City, it is clear that Broadway and
Touring Broadway Series create real value to our country’s economy,” said Charlotte St.
Martin, President of the Broadway League. “We couldn’t do it without the enormous
support that our awardees, the donors and volunteers – both corporate and private give to promote and enrich the Broadway Series in their hometowns.”
