Progressive Business Publications, Proud Corporate Sponsor for Les Miserables at The Walnut Street Theatre, Announces That This Production is a Record Breaking Presentation!

PHILADELPHIA--(Business Wire)--
Progressive Business Publications (PBP) (www.pbp.com) is thrilled
to sponsor the musical that broke all ticket sales in the history of
the nation's largest and most successful subscription theater. Les
Miserables was an unqualified success for The Walnut Street Theatre
(www.walnutstreettheatre.org). Progressive Business Publications,
long-time supporter of the Spring musical series, is delighted with
this accomplishment!

   Ed Satell, Founder and CEO of PBP said: "We've always recognized
that the Walnut is one of Philadelphia's true treasures--an artistic
gem as a producing theater, and one of the best run, most effective
nonprofits in the Philadelphia region. The Walnut Street Theatre is an
extraordinary venue which produces entertainment that appeals to old
and young alike. We're very proud of our support for and involvement
with this remarkable cultural resource. And this year a terrific cast
and a visionary director made Les Mis the not-to-be-missed show!"

   Bernard Havard, Walnut President and Producing Artistic Director,
stated: "Our association with PBP has been a winning association.
We've benefited from the guidance and expertise of our Trustee, Ed
Satell, as well as from the sponsorships of his company. In addition,
over the years we've enjoyed getting to know PBP's management, PBP's
people, and we're always pleased that they anticipate and appreciate
the Walnut's presentations."
