The national tour of The Prom is currently playing the Golden Gate Theatre through July 17, 2022. Lady Camden, a SF-based drag queen who placed first-runner-up on the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race, visited The Prom for a pre-show as part of their LGBTQ night.
In 2010 a gay Mississippi high school student was banned from coming to her senior prom by the school’s Board of Education because she wanted to bring her girlfriend as her date. She challenged the ruling, which resulted in the cancellation of The Prom. The student and the ACLU sued the district. The federal court found the school district guilty of violating the student’s first amendment rights and said The Prom must be held.
The National Tour of the 2019 Drama Desk Award winner for Outstanding Musical The Prom begins performances tonight at Playhouse Square in Cleveland.
