Publisher's Synopsis
2-15f, 1-6m, flexible ensemble
It begins with the nightly news reporting on a horrific, violent crime. The next 90 minutes rip through a high school in real time, where we witness how life-changing actions culminate in one disturbing act. Inspired by real events and co-written by New York City teenagers, Prospect High: Brooklyn wrestles with gun violence, deep friendships, self-harm, casual racism, and trans identity through the lens of (at least) four highly-charged students and their teacher(s). Is there a way the violence could have been prevented?
In 2015-16, Prospect High: Brooklyn became the first play in history to experience a coordinated Rolling World Premiere in 23 cities high school theatres around the world.
