With a winning mix of clever wit and surprising warmth, The Tutor tells a fresh, funny, contemporary tale of romance, art, and what it really takes to get into Princeton. When a struggling young novelist takes a job tutoring a sullen Manhattan girl, he thinks he’s just out for quick cash. But when the characters in his novel start to come to life, and his teenage pupil begins to open up, his life takes a surprising turn. This award-winning musical offers inventive, memorable music, vibrant characters, and way more laughs than taking the S.A.T.!

Set in a time when the sun turned round the earth and animals could speak, The Book of the Dun Cow is a powerful, uplifting new musical adapted from Walter Wangerin Jr.’s National Book Award winning novel. Chauntecleer, an all too human Rooster, battles the evil forces of Wyrm for nothing less than the fate of the earth. An allegorical tale told by a musical menagerie, this heartfelt, epic adventure will thrill all ages. Prospect’s Artistic Director Cara Reichel brings to life this fantastical story with her innovative staging and the help of a talented, ensemble cast.

Will they choose fame or freedom? Don’t miss this latest project from Prospect’s resident writer Peter Mills, author of last season’s The Pursuit of Persephone, in collaboration with Kleban Award winner Susan DiLallo and 2005 Jonathan Larson Award Winner Stephen Weiner.
