Summer Production Auditions
Summer Musical
The Prom
Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.
Directed by Steve MacKinnon, associate direction by Ke’Lee Pernell, with choreography by Shane Bland and music direction by John R. Mason III and Bradley Roberts, and production stage management by Tiffany Meadows-Green, The PROM promises to be a touching, hilarious, and powerful story for our community to experience together.
