In September of 2019, the Library for the Performing Arts launched an exhibition of the life, career, and remarkable collaborations of director/producer Harold Prince. As part of that exhibition we created a reading list for those who wanted to know more about the plays and musicals he created. This list was part of the free brochure available at the gallery, but now, as the exhibition is closed and coming down, we wanted to ensure the list was still available for those who want to read more about this icon of theatre history:
