Hybrid television and digital journalism platform covering Broadway and live theater, hosted by Emmy-winning journalist Roma Torre. "5th Row Center fans always have the best seat in the house." -- Karin C. Garfin, Executive Producer, Broadway Broadcasting

Emmy-winning journalist and theater critic Roma Torre, whose trusted reviews shaped NYC theatergoing for decades, returns to TV with 5th Row Center; a hybrid TV show and live forum covering theater everywhere: Broadway, West End, LA, Chicago, and beyond. Created by Karin Carnaroli Garfin (NBC/ABC/MTV, Emmy & BAFTA member), the show's live roundtable discussions, Broadway unScripted, bring insiders and fans together on YouTube, with JLTV (Jewish Life Television) streaming distribution.
Broadway is at a crossroads. Audiences are changing. Economics are evolving. 5th Row Center ...with Roma Torre is a new hybrid television and digital journalism platform meeting the moment, pairing long-earned trust with a new way of covering theater-bringing insiders and fans into the same conversation and helping audiences get the best seat in the house.

Hosted by veteran journalist Roma Torre and created and executive produced by Karin Carnaroli Garfin, the show reimagines theater journalism through a live, audience-inclusive broadcast experience.

Each episode features Roma's Reviews , Torre's signature criticism, Theater News , Spotlight BTS , and other original coverage across the theater community.

Coverage is expanded, however, through Broadway unScripted , a live roundtable streamed on YouTube where theater professionals, journalists, and audiences participate together in real time. Viewers submit questions, respond to coverage, and engage directly with panelists as conversations unfold. These live sessions are then edited into the televised program. Full episodes stream at youtube.com/@5thRowCenter, where audiences are encouraged to subscribe.

An upcoming episode, Broadway Bargains , offers practical tips, strategies, and insider guidance for seeing Broadway and Off-Broadway productions for less-including major hits-without treating theatergoing like a luxury reserved for a few. Expanded resources and tools tied to the episode are available at 5thRowCenter.com, where viewers can learn how to access discounted tickets and affordable options across Broadway and live performance more broadly, helping drive audiences from broadcast to digital.

5th Row Center ...with Roma Torre airs on JLTV (Jewish Life Television) and reaches a global audience through YouTube and digital platforms.

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES

Broadway Broadcasting LLC offers sponsorship and advertising opportunities for theater-adjacent brands-including ticketing platforms, dining and hospitality, fashion, travel, and cultural institutions-seeking to reach an engaged, theater-literate audience through commercial spots on JLTV and integrated digital placements.
