Tickets are $21 with discounted admission for seniors, students, military, and groups. THE PROM is a musical comedy featuring a book by Tony Award® winner Bob Martin ( *Elf the Musical*, *The Drowsy Chaperone*) and Tony Award® nominee Chad Beguelin ( *Aladdin*), music by Tony Award® nominee Matthew Sklar ( *Elf the Musical*) and lyrics by Tony Award® nominee Chad Beguelin. Four faded Broadway stars, desperate to reignite their dwindling careers, embark on an unexpected journey to Indiana. Their mission is to aid a high school student whose desire to bring her girlfriend to the prom has been thwarted by the school's conservative PTA. However, the actors’ well-intentioned but chaotic attempts at activism only exacerbate the situation, forcing both the Broadway divas and small-town locals to confront their differences head-on. Amidst the chaos, they discover shared perspectives that transcend their disparities, learning the true essence of community. With its heartwarming message, paired with electrifying dance numbers and soaring vocals, THE PROM promises to lift your spirits and set your heart aflutter. THE PROM, which took Broadway by storm and lit up the small screen in the 2020 Netflix adaptation starring Meryl Streep, is directed by CVLT veteran Pam LaForce, with music director David W. Coxe, and choreographer Alex Petsche. Jen Monfort and Drusilla Mango are in charge of stage management, with Tom Jones producing and costumes by Kristine Barrett. CVLT's production boasts an exceptional 25-member cast. At the forefront, Brooke Hamilton takes on the pivotal role of 'Emma', the high school student at the heart of the story. Portraying her love interest, 'Alyssa', is the talented Maela Mazzone. The quartet of fading Broadway stars is brought to life by Nina Takacs as 'Deedee', Don Knepper as 'Barry', Jennifer Justice as 'Angie', and Jordon Matthew as 'Trent', each delivering standout performances. Rounding out the principal cast are Eric Oswald as 'Mr. Hawkins', Neil Rubin as 'Sheldon', and Elisabeth Roter as 'Mrs. Greene'. Supporting roles include Kelly Scott as 'Shelby', Jessie Pollak as 'Kaylee', Patrick Jalbert as 'Nick', and Jonathon Clarke as 'Kevin'. The ensemble features Giovanni Conti, Leigh Garrett, Erin Heisey, Red Mango, Rachel Marzullo, Gina Marzullo, Quinn Montgomery, Atlas Nielsen, Emma Pasciak, Mary Reid, Willie Rose, and Isabel Siegel. Tickets for THE PROM are available 24/7 at the CVLT.org website. For ticket inquiries and reservations, please contact the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre Box Office at (440) 247-8955 or via email at BoxOffice(a)CVLT.org. Phone sales are available from 1-6 PM, Tuesday through Friday, with the box office opening two hours before all performances.

CVLT is located at 40 River Street in historic Chagrin Falls Village. ### Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded through individual and corporate contributions.
