Most often serving as a co-producer or investor, Roth has also been a lead producer of Broadway shows such as Kinky Boots, Indecent, Sylvia, It Shoulda Been You, and The Normal Heart.[1]
Roth frequently cites that she holds "the singular distinction of producing seven Pulitzer Prize-winning plays."[2] She was a lead producer of Nilo Cruz's Anna in the Tropics, Margaret Edson's Wit, Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive, and Edward Albee's Three Tall Women. Roth was co-producer of Bruce Norris' Clybourne Park, Tracy Letts' August: Osage County, and David Auburn's Proof.[3]
Personal life
Roth was born Daryl Atkins to a Jewish family; her father was a car dealer, and her mother was a homemaker.[4] She was raised in Wayne, New Jersey.[5]
Roth is married to Steven Roth, the billionaire real estate investor; Mr. Roth is a business partner and close confidant of former President Donald Trump.[6][7] According to the New York Times, Ms. Roth "attended the Trump inauguration with her husband and has avoided publicly taking sides on the administration."[8] In March 2019, President Trump appointed Ms. Roth to the board of trustees of the John F.
