Roberta Pereira and Brisa Trinchero love working as Broadway producers and relaxing with a good book. But one night over drinks at Sardi's, the duo wondered why there weren't any good Broadway reads. A few cocktails later, they decided to start a Broadway-themed publishing firm, and Dress Circle Publishing was born. This fall, it will publish its third book, and its first nonfiction offering, Untold Stories of Broadway.Written by another Broadway producer, Jennifer Tepper, it is a compilation of stories from actors, managers, directors and stagehands about some of theater's best-known names, like Hal Prince and the Gershwins. The other two books, Staged and Show Biz, both by Ruby Preston, are part of a trilogy about an up-and-coming female producer.
