Behind-the Scenes with Lisa


November 21, 2024

From the early days of BRP to our current successes, Lisa has been a cornerstone of our growth and evolution. Her visionary leadership, unwavering commitment, and deep understanding of our industry have not only guided us through various challenges but have also driven us toward new heights of excellence. In 1962, Bruce Rohrbach founded Bruce Rohrbach Productions, and alongside his wife, Holly, the duo owned and operated the company for 37 years, focusing on the entertainment needs for the corporate and association markets. Then, in 1999, Lisa left a 19-year corporate career with Penn National Gaming and purchased Bruce Rohrbach Productions with the help of a silent partner. As a tribute to Bruce & Holly, the company now operates as BRP Entertainment under the corporate entity Phillis Enterprises, Inc. Learn more about our story.
