YOUNGSTOWN, OH– The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is proud to present the Broadway musical The Prom at The Youngstown Playhouse (600 Playhouse Lane, Youngstown, OH 44511) during their 100th year anniversary on January 3-5, 10-12. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30PM and Sunday performances begin at 2:30 PM.

The Prom follows four fading Broadway stars who are in desperate need of a new
stage. In hopes that the heated controversy will give their careers some shine, they
make their way to a small town in Indiana where a high school senior and her
girlfriend are banned from attending their school’s prom.

Director Joe Asente said that this production of The Prom is more timely now than ever, "This show is an important one for our time. In an era where the rights and needs of the LGBT community are under attack almost every day and where the divide between the two political parties could not be greater, this show shows us that perhaps we have more in common than what makes us different and perhaps, if we learn to truly love our neighbor, our world could be a happier and more inclusive space for all of us". 

Asente continued, "The Prom is a perfect show that not only has catchy tunes, high energy choreography, and an important message, but it also delivers it through witty and hilarious dialogue. Truly, this is one of the funniest shows I have ever had the pleasure to direct, and it has been on our short list for years. We hope that Youngstown audiences will give a chance to an unfamiliar show, and with a cast as stacked as the one we have assembled, this is truly a production that is not to be missed!"

MTC has assembled an incredible cast for this production's area premiere, including some iconic Youngstown theatre veterans as well as some new faces to the local theatre scene including Brooke May as Emma Nolan, Brandy Johanntges as DeeDee Allen, Ty Hanes as Barry Glickman, Brianna Rae Quinn as Alyssa Greene, Jackie Collins as Angie Dickinson, Nate Beagle as Trent Oliver, Colleen Chance as Mrs. Greene, Ben Doss as Sheldon Saperstein, Sam Early as Kevin, Edward Bazzell as Nick, Ashley Smith as Kaylee, Aubrey Vernon as Shelby, and John Cox as Mr. Hawkins, with an incredible ensemble including Ashley Graczyk, Michelle Jalbert, Sammie Gurd, Marissa Scott, John Weber, Alexandra Pappalardo, Paula Stephenson, Emma James, Megan Delaney, Danny Stephenson, Romerio Dawkins, Alyssa Moore, Darcie Lukiart, and Andy Scott.

Directed by Joe Asente, choreographed by Danielle Mentzer, with musical direction
