Prospect Park is a theatre production company in New Zealand. It was formed in 2016 by Emily Duncan and H-J Kilkelly to foster new professional theatre-based work in the region. Duncan is a playwright and director and Kilkelly is a producer, both are from Ōtepoti Dunedin.[1][2][3]
After the Fortune Theatre in Dunedin closed it left a gap with the loss of its development programme for emerging playwrights and theatre makers called the 4X4 Programme. Prospect Park picked up this idea and started both the Ōtepoti Theatre Lab and the Ōtepoti Writers Lab.[1][4][5][6][7]
