The Prom first opened in 2016, and its message of inclusivity and resilience is growing to be more necessary every day. As Queer and Trans rights continue to be called into question in the United States, the students of the UCF season selection committee wanted to see a show on our mainstage that encourages allyship and champions compassion. The characters in this show come together in support of a young woman who's been denied her right to attend Prom with her girlfriend, showcasing the power that community can have to help us all heal, grow, and change. Everyone deserves to dance in joy at their Prom, and we invite you all to dance with us here at ours.
