We believe the best performances are yet to come.

But somewhere on our quest to produce more ambitious shows, we got lost in spreadsheets. We suspect your calling isn’t so much copying data between cells, but instead something to do with bringing great works to life.

That’s why we built Prospero - to give fellow artists like you a leg up in mounting incredible shows.

Over the last three years, we’ve been honored to work with our industry colleagues to craft a better way of scheduling productions. We’d love for you to give it a try.
