Presented as a collaboration of the USM Department of Theatre and the Osher School of Music
Four eccentric Broadway stars desperately need to revitalize their stalling careers. So when they hear about a small town preventing a lesbian student from attending prom with her girlfriend, they know it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the prom on the straight and narrow. One student just wants to bring her girlfriend to the prom. When Broadway’s brassiest joins forces with both, the result is that love brings them all together.
Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, The Prom captures the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
