On this episode of NEW@NAMT: Arts Leaders, we sit down with Dev Bondarin, Associate Artistic Director at Prospect Musicals, the New York-based company known for its commitment to boundary-pushing new work. Hosts Jean-Paul Yovanoff and Skye Cone Ivey talk with Dev about her dual roles as director and curator, and how she helps shape Prospect’s celebrated musical theatre lab, which commissions writers around a central theme each season.
🎙️ Dev shares insights from directing at Prospect and beyond, and reflects on what makes collaborative development processes thrive. She also discusses her work on NAMT’s Festival Committee — including directing a presentation in the 35th Annual Festival of New Musicals — and how national community has influenced her approach to new work.
✨ Plus: why membership organizations matter more than ever, what’s giving her hope about the future of musicals, and the opening number she’ll never get out of her head.
A must-listen for fans of innovative musical theatre and the people who champion it.
