THE PROM Cast Set for Lyric Arts Company of Anoka Production

Broadway’s biggest stars are on a mission to help… themselves. When four down-on-their-luck actors hear  about a small-town Indiana teen banned from bringing her girlfriend to prom, they see a chance for a PR makeover. But their over-the-top activism turns the town upside down, leading to laughter, love, and a show-stopping celebration of individuality. 

With an infectious pop score and tons of heart, THE PROM—a Drama Desk Award winner for Outstanding Musical—is  a joyous story about love, acceptance, and the power of standing up for what’s right. Grab your tickets and join the party!

“THE PROM is a lovely nod to musical theatre,” shares director Amanda White. “It has glitter and jazz  hands and great production numbers but it also delivers a powerful and clear message about standing up for who you are and who you love. Whether you're a theatre fan, an advocate for equity and justice, or just someone who enjoys a feel-good night out, THE  PROM promises a show that’s as entertaining as it is meaningful.”
