Penelope, Hetty, Selina, and Caroline reunite at their high school choir
teacher's cabin in the woods, which she has left to the group in her will. A
giant hole opens up in the floor, and relationships are tested as these
four old friends slip in and out of time as they revisit their past selves in
order to shape the future of their group.

Prospect's IGNITE Series is an ongoing concert initiative featuring today's new voices shaping tomorrow's musical theater. Reflecting Prospect's
dedication to fostering and producing work by emerging artists, IGNITE Series programming will include premieres of original material by award-winning songwriters; cutting-edge creations straight from Prospect's annual Musical Theater Lab; concert presentations of musicals in development and more.
The Latiné Musical Theatre Lab is an organization that develops and
advocates for new, Latine-written musicals and the careers of their
writers, in order to radically expand the tapestry of stories told in the art
form of musical theatre. We offer comprehensive programs for new
musical development and writer career advancement, all at no cost to
our writers. Central to our mission is the belief that by robustly
supporting our writers, we robustly support the Latine community as a
whole. Formed in late 2021, the Lab has developed over 70 shows in its
first two years, impacting the careers of dozens of Latine writers and
hundreds of collaborating artists.
Prospect Theater Company is committed to being an Anti-Racist
organization, and to working for positive change within our field
and our organization. We affirm our belief in the vision of a more
equitable and just community, and our intention to create and
inclusive space for making and sharing musical theater.
The New Musicals Mixtape is made possible in part by a project support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
