THE AWESOME 80'S PROM - Webster Hall
THE AWESOME 80s PROM
Seeking Performers


Have YOU ever wanted to go back in time? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your high school was just like the high schools in all those 1980s teen flicks? Do YOU want to be a part of the wildest interactive show on the Strip?

Now is your chance!

We are looking for performers and people with personality who want to have fun. The setting is a High School Prom in 1989, and all of the characters one would anticipate seeing from a John Hughes film are in it! So dust off your Reeboks, slip on a Members Only Jacket, practice your Moonwalk, and come on down!

This is an audience-interactive show. Some parts require specific looks or abilities, but there's something for just about everyone.

The production is being directed by Ken Davenport, the creator of the show currently running Off-Broadway. Actors are paid $60 per performance.
