Wagner College Theatre Closes The School Year With The PROM

What better way to finish out a school year than with THE PROM. Inspired by true events and written by Matthew Sklar, Chad Beguelin, and Bob Martin, THE PROM celebrates love, acceptance, and perseverance. The plot follows a group of actors as they try to rehab their reputations by supporting Emma, a teen from Indiana whose prom was canceled because she wanted to bring her girlfriend. Their quest to change hearts and minds is marked by mishaps, comedy, tears, and self-acceptance. Recently adapted into a movie starring Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kerry Washington, THE PROM is a joyful, Broadway hit not to be missed!

Dress up and dance night away on April 27, 28, 29 & May 4, 5, 6 at 8:00PM and on April 29 & May 6, 7 at 2:00PM. All performances will be in Wagner College Theatre's Main Hall Theatre.
