Since its incorporation in June of 1998, Prospect Theater Company has supported an outstanding and diverse group of emerging artists in NYC’s off-off-Broadway scene. Originally founded by five graduates of Princeton University, Prospect has grown to include a loose network of almost 700 artists.  To date, we have mounted over 30 full-scale productions, as well as numerous “dark nights” events (which have included many readings and workshop stagings of new plays and musicals).  Over the past decade, we have presented the New York and/or world premieres of more than 20 new musicals and 3 new plays.

Prospect actively cultivates and support a community of musical theatre writers, particularly through our annual music theatre laboratory program, commissioning new 10-minute musicals.  In 2010, we also launched a summer residency program in partnership with the Goodwill Theatre in Johnson City, New York to provide a summer workshop opportunity outside of Manhattan for new works in process.

Prospect performs in rental theater venues of 99 seats or less located in diverse neighborhoods in Manhattan. Some selected recent company productions include:

• The Blue Flower,  presented Feb. 2 – Mar. 2, 2008 at the West End Theatre.  Audiences entered the restless memories of artist Max Baumann on this Dada-inspired romp through pre-WWI Paris, the Great War, and Weimar Germany.  Striking video projections and inventive music were from the Jonathan Larson Award-winning team of Jim & Ruth Bauer.
• By founding company members Peter Mills and Cara Reichel, Golden Boy of the Blue Ridge (presented in April 2009 at 59E59 Theaters) was a new bluegrass musical that moved J. M. Synge’s classic Irish comedy The Playboy of the Western World to a setting in 1930’s Depression-era Appalachia and featured an onstage band / acting ensemble.
• I Married Wyatt Earp, a new all-female musical by composer Michele Brourman, co-bookwriter / lyricist Sheilah Rae, and co-bookwriter Thomas Edward West, re-interprets the events surrounding the infamous “Shootout at the O.K. Corral” in 1880s Tombstone, Arizona.  This production ran at 59E59 Theaters from May 20 – June 12, 2011.

Prospect Theater Company 10th Anniversary from Cara Reichel on Vimeo.

July 2011 – All songs are from Nymph Errant, except where noted.  (There are 4 interpolations).

NOTE ON STYLE:  The mp3 recordings below are from a huge concert of the show done in London a few years back.  It’s not at ALL how Rob / Davis envision the Prospect version will sound… but it’s the only viable recording we have.  Think simple, intimate and well-acted, not overdone / over-orchestrated.  The first 2 recordings of “Experiment” demonstrate the difference in style… eventually, all the songs will have new arrangements.
