Prospect Theater Company Presents HONOR Reading 4/25

Prospect Theater Company (Cara Reichel, Producing Artistic Director / Melissa Huber, Managing Director) presents a benefit concert reading of their 2008 hit musical Honor on Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 6pm at the Baruch Performing Arts Center (Engelman Recital Hall, 55 Lexington Avenue on 25th Street).

Honor was created by Prospect Theater Company founders Peter Mills and Cara Reichel in 2008 and transplants Shakespeare's As You Like It to a setting in feudal Japan. Broadway's Jose Llana (The King & I and The 25th Putnam County Spelling Bee) stars with Diane Phelan, from Prospect's 2008 critically-acclaimed production, in this passionate tale of romance and the redemption of family honor.

Also in the cast is Paolo Mantalban, as well as several original cast members from the 2008 production, Alan Ariano, Billy Bustamente, Steven Eng, Ariel Estrada, Ali Ewoldt, Christine Toy Johnson, Brian Jose, Whitney Kam Lee, Jason Ma, Jaygee Macapugay, Mel Maghuyop, Romney Piamonte, Dave Shih, Toshiji Takeshima, and Robert Torigoe.

Ticket prices start at $75 (performance and post-show reception with the cast). There will also be a pre-show reception in the lobby for Benefactor ($250) and Patron ($125) Level Ticket holders which begins at 4:30pm, as well as a post-show reception with the cast. See complete listing below for pricing and details. Tickets may be purchased online at www.ProspectTheater.org or by calling 212-352-3101 (service charges apply).
