THE PROM follows four eccentric Broadway stars in search of a new spotlight when they discover controversy surrounding a small-town high school prom. When one student simply wants to bring her girlfriend to the dance, the town becomes divided, prompting the performers to step in and champion the cause — while also seeking a bit of publicity for themselves. Their mission to make a difference ultimately sparks a heartfelt transformation for the entire community.

The cast includes Michele Abbazia, Paige Machnicz, Duane Campbell, Frederick Goff, Aiden Kowalik, Kimberly Saltzman, Susan Smith , Lucy Eddinger, Ella Ullman, Ginamarie Garabedian, Grace Hogan, Catherine Jones , Erin Leslie, Nicolette Pavain, Hesaneh, Hannah Kingsley, Zenn Langley, Cara MacKenzie, Stephen Maher, Christine McGuinness, Ashley McLeod , Brooke Owens , Ariana Pagel, Kyle Riedinger, Megan Wolfe-Pelletier, and Zayda.

Performances will take place Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. from May 22–31, 2026. The production is recommended for audiences of all ages, with the understanding that accompanying adults should be comfortable discussing the show’s themes. Tickets, starting at $26, are available now through Connecticut Theatre Company.
