When Stroudsburg High School announced the musical would be “The Prom,” the student body and local community were thrown into chaos.
“The Prom” tells the story of Emma, a high school student from a fictional place known as Edgewater, Indiana, who sparks controversy when she announces that she wants to take her girlfriend to prom. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and community cancel the prom in retaliation. Four washed-up Broadway stars needing publicity hear about this bigotry and make it their mission to help Emma.
While the show tells a story of unity and acceptance, it can divide communities.
