Trustus Theatre will present its upcoming production of the Broadway hit musical The Prom, set to captivate audiences with its infectious energy and heartfelt storytelling. Led by Trustus’ Artistic Director, Dewey Scott-Wiley, this production promises to be a celebration of love, acceptance, and the power of community.
"I saw The Prom on Broadway in the summer of 2019, at the insistence of a dear friend of mine," said Scott-Wiley. "It had not been on my radar and the title did not grab me. It was absolutely the most joyous theatrical experience I have ever had. Truly. I laughed A LOT. I cried. I cheered. I danced. I left the theatre feeling buoyant and celebrated. This show packs a punch of pure joy. Come see it!"
The Prom tells the story of Emma, played by Free Times Best of Columbia 2024 Best Actress Nominee Liv Moody, a high school student in small-town Indiana who just wants to take her girlfriend, played by Isabella DeCola, to prom. When the PTA cancels the dance altogether rather than allow her to attend, a group of eccentric Broadway stars swoop in to champion her cause and shake up the conservative community. With its catchy music, hilarious dialogue, and touching message of acceptance, The Prom is a beloved favorite among theatergoers worldwide.
Featuring a talented cast of local performers including Trustus Company members Kevin Bush, Robin Gottlieb, and Jonathan Monk, Trustus Theatre's production promises to capture the heart and soul of this Tony-nominated musical. Audiences can expect an evening filled with laughter, tears, and plenty of memorable moments that will leave them feeling uplifted and inspired.
