  3. The Prom


High school student Emma Nolan, who wants to ask her girlfriend to the prom, faces resistance from the infuriated PTA, who calls for the cancellation of the event. Devastated by this decision, resented by her classmates and isolated for being a lesbian in a homophobic small town, Emma is taken by surprise when a group of Broadway actors arrives to support and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, coming to her "rescue." During this protest, Emma discovers the courage to stand in her truth and be herself, despite the hatred pointed her way.
