THE AWESOME 80S PROM is the award-winning new interactive experience in the style of Tony n’ Tina's Wedding and The Donkey Show set at the Wanaget High’s Senior Prom… in 1989! All your favorite characters from your favorite '80s movies are at THE PROM, from the Captain of the Football Team to the Asian Exchange Student, from the Geek to the hottie Head Cheerleader, and they’re all competing for Prom King and Queen. And just like on "American Idol," the audience decides who wins, all while moonwalkin’ to great retro hits like “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go!” Come "Back in Time,” to quote a Huey Lewis tune, and join the break-dance circle or just sit back and watch the '80s drama unfold.

THE AWESOME 80S PROM was conceived and directed by Ken Davenport and written by Davenport and “The Class of 1989”, a group of performers including Sheila Berezan, Alex Back, Adam Bloom, Anne Bobby, Courtney Balan, Nicole Cicchella, Mary Faber, Stephen Guarino, Jeff Hiller, Emily McNamara, Troy Metcalf, Jenna Pace, Amanda Ryan Paige, Brian Peterson, Jessica West Regan, Kathy Searle, Mark Shunock, Josh Walden, Noah Weisberg, Brandon Williams, Simon Wong and Fletcher Young.

Davenport, “The PT Barnum of Off-Broadway” (NY Times), was recently named one of Crain’s “40 Under 40” and is the only producer to have three shows running simultaneously Off-Broadway: in addition to Prom, he also has Altar Boyz (www.altarboyz.com  and My First Time (www.MyFirstTimeThePlay.com). Ken is also the Producer of the new Broadway musical 13 and the 20th Anniversary revival of David Mamet’s Speed-The-Plow starring Jeremy Piven, and was recently featured in an iPhone commercial. Ken is currently developing a musical version of the film Somewhere in Time.
