From the director of Tuck Everlasting and The Book of Mormon,The Prom is an uproarious and ultimately uplifting new musical that proves that standing up for yourself - and inspiring others to accept their differences - can make you the star you were always meant to be. Emma becomes an instant outcast - and a national headline - when her high school cancels the prom rather than let her attend with her girlfriend. Sensing a chance to correct an injustice -and maybe get some good publicity along the way - a group of fading celebrities takes up the cause, and invades Emma's small Indiana town. But their bumbling attempts at social activism make the situation far worse than they - or Emma - could have ever imagined. Cultures clash and the town erupts in chaos. The community's reputation, Emma's future, and the celebrities' careers, all hang in the balance, until a true hero emerges to save the day. On stage August 18 - September 25, tickets at alliancetheatre.org/prom.
