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.

This production is especially meaningful for Theater for Charity, as all profits from The Prom will benefit Youth Outlook, an organization that supports LGBTQ+ youth in Illinois and promotes a safe, inclusive community for all. (https://youth-outlook.org/ )
