The Grand Theatre has procured the rights to produce the ground-breaking new musical Prom Queen, premiering as the 2018 High School Project. This new, Canadian, award-winning production, originally developed through Sheridan College's The Music Theatre Project (Come From Away) brings an authentic voice to a remarkable story.

Prom Queen is the true story of 17-year-old Marc Hall. It's graduation time and Marc wants nothing more than to take his boyfriend to the prom. But the Principal of the school he attends and the School Board Trustees won't allow it. Suddenly, Marc finds himself fighting not only for his right to choose his prom date, but also for the right to be different and have his voice heard.

The production had its world premiere at Montreal's Segal Centre for the Performing Arts in a held-over run and was presented at New York's National Alliance of Musical Theater's New Musical Festival. The Grand's High School Project, an acclaimed mentorship program unique in North America, will for the first time bring a new Canadian Musical to stage.
