Prince said he will also be mounting a series of one-act musicals in Philadelphia--created by largely unknown artists--to encourage new talent.

"The whole process of creativity is a process of handing the baton on," Prince said.
Marisa N. Echeverria '00, who directed this month's production of HMS Pinafore, spent the summer as an intern in Prince's Rockefeller Center office.
