Beginning at 2:47 p.m. and running in real time, Prospect High: Brooklyn  introduces us to four intelligent, highly-charged students from the outer boroughs and one comically apathetic teacher. Addressing themes of gun violence, trans acceptance, deep friendships, self-harm, and casual racism, we see life-changing actions culminating in one disturbing act. Is there a way the violence could have been prevented? This workshop edition of the play contains variations for five, twelve, or eighteen actors, though just about any other combination is possible. The small-cast version plays like a traditional story with a through-line for each character; the large-cast version plays as a series of connected vignettes. Prospect High: Brooklyn was devised by Daniel Robert Sullivan in response to his perception of a current dearth of issue-driven, easily-producible, flexible-cast plays for teenage actors to perform. Co-writers are real New York City high school students who participated in six months of workshops led by Daniel Robert Sullivan in Roundabout Theatre Company's Education Department. The dialogue in the play comes directly from their actual conversations and in many cases is preserved verbatim. Without their honesty, openness, and willingness to share, we would never have such a clear picture of what some teenagers are thinking about here in New York. Grateful acknowledgement must also be given for the significant improvements offered by Shelley Butler and Shannon Deep.   Daniel Robert Sullivan and Roundabout Theatre Company are participants in the Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowships, funded by the William & Eva Fox Foundation and administered by Theatre Communications Group.

He received a Master's Degree in Acting and Directing from the University of Missouri/Kansas City, and three Bachelor's degrees (Comparative Literature, Secondary Education, and Acting) from the University of Rhode Island. He has appeared as Tommy DeVito in the hit musical JERSEY BOYS for nearly 1000 performances, and has led hundreds of theatrical classroom workshops throughout New York City. The New York Times referred to Daniel as having "the seductive magnetism of a snake-oil salesman" and his wife agrees. The two live in Manhattan, piecing together an artistic and sporadically stable life. Please "like" Daniel's Facebook page to say hello!
