M. Edgar Rosenblum, the longtime executive director of New Haven's Long Wharf Theatre who, with artistic director Arvin Brown, built the theater into one of the nation's leading performance institutions, died April 17 at his home in Woodstock, N.Y. He was 78.

Rosenblum worked at Long Wharf for 26 years, until 1996, the same year Brown left the position he had held for 31 years to pursue a television career in Los Angeles. It was one of the longest-running artistic business partnerships in American theater.

After Long Wharf, Rosenblum worked for Circle-in-the-Square and Theatre for a New Audience, both in New York City, as well as the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge, Mass. He also was president of the League of American Resident Theaters, which comprises the nation's leading regional theaters.
