The Prospector
Transport your little ones (and yourself!) to the rugged American West where a colorful cast of characters meet in a mining camp during the 1850’s California Gold Rush. Here in this wild and untamed country, a prospector charms a group of coyotes with a story of cowboys and miners competing for the love of a strong and beautiful woman. The Prospector is our celebration of Puccini's The Girl of the Golden West by Lee Holdridge and Richard Sparks, and directed by Eli Villanueva. (Filmed in 2010 at the Saban Theatre.)
