Prairie High School is proud to present “The Prom,” a nonstop rollercoaster of razzle-dazzle, high kicks, unexpected alliances and a message of love and acceptance.

When a small town school’s upcoming prom lands in the headlines, four down-on-their-luck Broadway producers smell an opportunity … to put themselves back in the spotlight. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl in Indiana. The result is a love that brings the town together.

Since it debuted on Broadway in 2018, “The Prom” has earned seven Tony Award nominations and numerous other awards, including the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical. “The Prom” captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.

“We can’t wait to share this celebration with you,” said Prairie Drama’s director, Claire Verity. “Join us as we ‘build a prom for everyone!'”
