JOEL ROSENMAN, who co-produced the Woodstock Festival, will talk about that weekend in 1969. Not about the well-documented spectacle of half a million hippies making history, but instead about what was going on behind the scenes, where four guys in their mid-twenties were trying desperately to hold it all together for a hair-raising 72 hours. Joel Rosenman conceived and co-created the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Rosenman thought of the idea for the three-day concert when he and business partner John Roberts were evaluating a proposal from Michael Lang and Artie Kornfeld for a recording studio in upstate New York. The four went on to create the event. Rosenman and Roberts are the co-authors of “Making Woodstock”, originally published as “Young Men with Unlimited Capital”, a non-fiction account of their exploits as producers of Woodstock. Currently, Rosenman is co-writing a musical about Woodstock with Marshall Brickman ("Annie Hall," "Jersey Boys"...) brining his book to life with music of the time.
