Bruce Robert Harris is dedicated to producing new, innovative and cutting-edge theater and special events. For four years he produced The Gay Pride Series with co-producer Douglas Leland.  Among the plays they presented were Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song Trilogy, Mart Crowley’s The Boys in the Band, Terrence McNally’s The Ritz and Love! Valour! Compassion!, Paul Rudnick’s Jeffrey, Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart, Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly and the first New York City revival of William Finn and James Lapine’s A New Brain.  Because of the success of that series, Mr. Harris was asked by friend and co-producer Geoffrey Doig-Marx to produce The Elan Awards, which showcases developing choreographers while honoring a well-known figure in the dance world for choreography. Honorees have included Graciella Danielle, Jerry Mitchell, Ann Reinking, Lar Lubovitch, Rob Marshall and Susan Stroman.  

In November 2001, Mr. Harris and Mr. Leland produced a three-play showcase series to benefit the Fireman's 911 Relief Funds. That series included a new production of The Odd Couple (female version) by Neil Simon directed by Steve DeAngelis, a revival of their summer hit, Jeffrey (with a cast of 29) and a re-staged production of Love! Valour! Compassion!

Mr. Harris also single handedly produced a star-studded gala performance of Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens directed by Bill Russell to benefit the Momentum AIDS Project. He also co-produced its widely-successful first American album, available on CD from Fynsworth Alley.

Recently, he has associated and raised money for Little Women, The Musical on Broadway and the pre-Broadway engagement of the new comedy Paper Doll. His production of the comic thriller, Bag Fulla Money, played a limited engagement in New York City this past winter. He is also Associate Producer of the innovative theatre piece about empowerment and human potential, History of the Word, which utilizes interactive forms of storytelling to chronicle the history and power of the spoken word and is scheduled to open in NYC this fall and then tour. He also in June 2005 produced Charles Messina's The Great Divide playing the Triad Theatre for a successful four week run.

He is the Associate Producer at the White Plains Performing Arts Center of the Main Stage Performances and Director of Marketing and Advertising.

Mr. Harris holds a BFA from The Juilliard School of Music and is a graduate of the Commercial Theater Institute.
