59E59 Theaters will welcome Prospect Theater Company for a new, three-year residency, a program that will premiere three new musicals throughout its duration. The first will be Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk鈥檚 The Mad Ones, to be directed by Stephen Brackett (Buyer & Cellar) in the fall.

鈥淲e are so excited and honored to have our show The Mad Ones be the Prospect Theater's first Off-Broadway venture and to find a New York City home at 59E59,鈥� Kerrigan told 半岛体育. 鈥淲e've been fans of both institutions for as long as we can remember and our collaboration has already been a dream come true. We just read a new draft of our script this week, including three new songs, and we think that fans of the show鈥攆ormerly titled The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown鈥攁re going to love the direction we're taking with the new material.鈥�

鈥淥ver the years, Prospect has produced five new musicals with us, all enthusiastically received by our members,鈥� commented 59E59鈥檚 president and founding artistic director Elysabeth Kleinhans in a press statement. 鈥淲e are thrilled to help them embark on even more ambitious musical projects by offering them a larger space to produce while making it cost-effective for them to do so. This is exactly what 59E59 Theaters was built to do for non-profit theaters.鈥�

鈥淭his residency is a natural extension of the strong relationship we have built with 59E59 Theaters over the past decade,鈥� added Cara Reichel, the producing artistic director of Prospect. 鈥淲e are grateful to have the opportunity to grow, reaching new and expanded audiences. Our annual productions at 59E59 will anchor a diverse array of year-round activities developing and producing new work by emerging artists.鈥�
