IRON CURTAIN
Nov. 5 – 27, 2011
EXTENDED until Dec. 4th!

Book by Susan DiLallo, lyrics by Peter Mills, music by Stephen Weiner
Directed by Cara Reichel, Choreographed by Christine O’Grady
at Baruch Performing Arts Center, Baruch College
(E. 25^th St., between Lexington & 3^rd Aves., NYC)

An uproarious original musical comedy set during Broadway’s Golden Age of the 1950s! The hapless songwriting team of Howard Katz and Murray Finkel finally get their big break… when they are kidnapped by the KGB, taken to Russia, and forced to fix the world’s worst communist propaganda musical.  Will they choose fame or freedom?
“Fizzy showtunes, dizzy shenanigans, and amorous subplots… this is one curtain not to miss!” – Time Out New York

MYTHS AND HYMNS

Music & lyrics by Adam Guettel, additional lyrics by Ellen Fitzhugh
with new narrative and direction by Elizabeth Lucas
At the West End Theatre in the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew (263 West 86th St., NYC)

Earth, air, water, fire:  A restless daughter, a mother without words, a righteous father, and a lost son.  Venture into one family’s mythologized past as director Elizabeth Lucas (Clear Blue Tuesday) offers her innovative vision for this song cycle by acclaimed composer and lyricist Adam Guettel (The Light in the Piazza).
“A kaleidoscopically heady musical-theater piece… The songs evoke a kind of human yearning that is as piercing as it is unappeasable: yearning for immortality, true love and God.” – The New York Times

Cole Porter’s NYMPH ERRANT
July 7 – 29, 2012
Music & lyrics by Cole Porter, adapted and with new libretto by Rob Urbinati
based on the novel by James Laver and the original libretto by Romney Brent
at an NYC venue to be announced.

One of Porter’s most sexy and sophisticated scores — originally censored in its 1933 London debut — will be premiered in this sleek new adaptation.  From a Swiss boarding school, to an Austrian nudist colony, to a Turkish harem… follow the unlikely adventures of young Evangeline Edwards as she enters the world and seeks her true passion.  A fresh take on a rarely-heard gem!
“Displaying a cleverness and intelligence that is rare in today’s musical theatre… Prospect Theater Company should be commended.  They are torchbearers of a grand theatre tradition.” – NYTheatre.com
