The Prom
Community Schools Theater & Arts is officially headed to 'The Prom' for our Spring 2026 show!
Show Synopsis
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 make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.
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. Now a major Netflix movie, The Prom continues to inspire and entertain with its blend of heart, humor, and show-stopping musical numbers that resonate with audiences of all ages.
