COMEDY. In this tell-all, prom-goers let the audience in on their prom drama in a series of hilarious monologues and vignettes that reveal some mind-boggling prom dilemmas. First of all, how do you pick a prom theme that isn’t dumb? Second, selecting the right prom date isn’t easy. What should you do if your date arrives wearing an Abraham Lincoln costume complete with a beard? If every girl turns you down, should you take your Russian grandma to prom? Should you go to prom with a guy your dad despises so much he becomes hysterical? Finally, prom etiquette can be really confusing. Should you wear a live snake around your neck to prom? Are “mercy dates” cool? Is it okay to ditch your date at the door? What do you do if you accidentally ask multiple people to prom? If your name is Carrie and you are obsessed with the Stephen King novel Carrie, should you go to prom? This “romantically” riveting one-act has scene-stealers for everyone in the cast! Easy to stage with just a few simple props.
