Jump Cut, an evening of songs generated from Prospect Musicals' 2025 Musical Theater Lab, will be presented February 20 at 7:30 PM at Symphony Space in the Peter J. Sharp Theater.
Prospect's annual Musical Theater Lab brings together writing teams selected through an open application to create short musicals in response to a curated assignment. This year's lab has a central theme of time. Each writing team randomly selected a length of time to “jump cut” as an inspiration for their piece.

Carlin; Antonio Del Valle; Danielle Koenig and Asher Muldoon; Andy Li and Jillian Ohayon; April Dae Okpwae; Sarah Rossman & Sequoia Sellinger; and Joël René Scoville and Ammon Taylor.
