Prospect High: Brooklyn was developed in partnership with Education at Roundabout and the Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowships and will premiere in 23 high school productions from September 2015 through May 2016. It will then receive an Off-Broadway premiere, by the Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts, at Roundabout's black box theatre. 

"After much research, we chose 23 of the boldest high school theatre departments from across the country and can use this first-ever high school rolling world premiere to recognize them and expose their power at a national level,” said Sullivan in a press statement.

The play, which can be performed by a cast of up to 18, is set in a large Brooklyn high school. Co-written by Sullivan and the team of adolescents over nine months of collaboration, the play focuses on four students and their apathetic teacher. According to Roundabout, it was created with the "intent of offering a new collection of serious, true-to-life material for teenage actors."

Prospect High: Brooklyn explores themes of apathy, revenge, friendship, trans acceptance, racism, self-harm and the power of our teachers in giving us good and bad advice. It was recently awarded semi-finalist status for the 2015 National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Center

"I wanted to create an issue‐driven, age‐appropriate, ethnically‐diverse, flexible‐cast play that represents the extremes inherent in an urban high school environment," continued Sullivan, who is also the author of "Places, Please! (Becoming A Jersey Boy)." "These teenagers have introduced me to the issues and debates most important to them. We’ve structured these conversations into the play." The writers are Paul Stoll, Aaliyah Stewart, Isaiah Latimer, Chanique Peart, Deshaye Tingling, Amanda Rodriguez, Jaylin Acosta, Brandy Brown, Azaria Guthrie, Rebecca Powell, Rachel Friedman and Shannon Deep.
