Meeting Room A and B (R117)

Join us for a sampling of the show and a chance to win tickets to the April performance.

The musical comedy The Prom, about a group of Broadway performers looking for a “cause” to improve their image, is - at its core - about love and acceptance. The serious themes of accepting oneself and embracing others are wrapped in fun music, lively dances, engaging costumes and hilarious banter between the characters.
