    Join the Wagner College Theatre as it finishes out the school year with “The Prom,” playing in the Main Hall auditorium April 27-29 and May 4-7.

    Inspired by true events and written by Matthew Sklar, Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin, “The Prom” celebrates love, acceptance and perseverance.

    The plot follows a group of actors as they try to rehab their reputations by supporting Emma, a teen from Indiana whose prom was canceled because she wanted to bring her girlfriend. Their quest to change hearts and minds is marked by mishaps, comedy, tears and self-acceptance.

    Adapted into a 2020 Netflix movie starring Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Keegan-Michael Key and Kerry Washington, “The Prom” is a joyful Broadway hit not to be missed!

    SHOW TIMES

    Dress up and dance night away on:

    THE AFTER PARTY: APRIL 29

We encourage everyone to come dressed in their prom best! Starting at 1 p.m. and continuing until after the evening performance, there will be music, decorations, photo spots, refreshments and prizes for best dressed at both performances (at 2 and 8 p.m.). Dress up, dance, have fun and end the school year with a bang!
