Audition Appointments Open August 12!

​

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 transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together.

Acclaim

  • E.M.A.C.T. DASH Consultant's Choice Award for Success in Theatrical Risk Taking (Spring Awakening)

  • E.M.A.C.T. DASH Nomination for Best Child Actor in a Musical (Carly Fallon, Spring Awakening)

  • E.M.A.C.T. DASH Nomination for Best Choreography (Carla German, Spring Awakening)

  • E.MA.C.T. DASH Nomination for Best Ensemble (Spring Awakening)

  • "It (Spring Awakening) was, in every way, top to bottom, a thoroughly professional production. The cast was mostly high-school and here and there some college kids and an adult or three, but from the "stars" down to the least of the chorus members everyone came onstage prepared, dedicated, concentrated, and aware not only of the serious story but each individual's place in that story. It's on a list of mine for a possible Best Ensemble vote in next year's IRNE collection. In most amateur theater, at any age, the muscle (or lack of it) is the creative team --- in this case Producer/Director Samantha Bower, Music Director John Bower, and Choreographer Carla Gerken. They matched performers' talents and expertise with their roles, and filled the stage with chorus more often than one might expect, but always logically and movingly." --Larry Stark, Theater Mirror
