Prospect received renewed support from the NEA to continue our development of this new jazz musical. Help us raise our matching funds for the grant.
From silent pictures to the talkies, groundbreaking cinematic pioneer Oscar Micheaux battles the racism of Hollywood to bring Black stories to the silver screen... facing down censorship boards, financial ruin, and family betrayal. Micheaux's legacy as America's first major Black filmmaker comes to syncopated and soulful life in this new jazz musical.
Through a composer commissioning grant from the New York State Council on the Arts and a grant from the NEA, Prospect has commissioned the Brooklyn based indie-folk-pop-americana group Bandits on the Run to write a new musical inspired by Alaska's Klondike Gold Rush.
