THE PROM Will Open at Four County Players in March

As the next production of their 52nd Season in Barboursville, Four County Players will present THE PROM, opening March 7 on the Mainstage. THE PROM features Book and Lyrics by Chad Beguelin, Book by Bob Martin, Music by Matthew Sklar, and is based on an original concept by Jack Viertel.

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it's time to put a spotlight on the issue...and themselves. The town's parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow-but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway's brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town's citizens and the result is love that brings them all together. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
