Lunchtime Lecture: THE PROM
Advertisement
Wednesday, Oct 28 @Noon
Free In-Person, Indoor Event at Cheney Hall
AN IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION ABOUT THE SHOW
Join David Garnes as he discusses LTM’s upcoming production of THE PROM with members of the cast and creative team.
Free and open to the public, Lunchtime Lectures offer an opportunity to learn about LTM’s productions, providing insights into the creative process, background information about the play, its production history, and the playwright, and much more about theatre and the arts. These discussions are an informal lecture style with an opportunity to ask questions after the chat.
THE PROM
Book & Lyrics by Chad Beguelin | Book by Bob Martin | Music by Matthew Sklar
November 6–22, 2026
From the creative minds behind The Book of Mormon and The Drowsy Chaperone.
The Tony Award–nominated Broadway hit THE PROM proves a little glitter can change the world. When Emma, a small-town high school senior, is banned from bringing her girlfriend to prom, a troupe of eccentric Broadway stars swoops in, determined to save the day—and themselves. What follows is a riotous clash of small-town values and showbiz ego, set to a dazzling score filled with infectious songs and high-energy dance numbers. Both hilarious and heartwarming, THE PROM is a celebration of love, acceptance, and being true to yourself. Get ready to laugh, cheer, and leave the theatre singing!
