To most of us, The PROM is fun, light-hearted, and even a bit "on the nose" with it's portayal of homophobia. We forget that the bubble of safety we create for ourselves is finite, and it almost seems silly to have a story focus on what seems to be a fading struggle for the LGBT community. It's not fading though. The message of The PROM is needed now more than ever. "We all deserve the chance to dance." 🌈

We are honored to be one of the many LGBT focused productions this summer in SE Wisconsin, some of which suffered their own levels of hate speech. Thank you for staying PROUD, Waukesha Civic Theatre, Outskirts Theatre Co., & Theatrical Tendencies.

Help us make change, please consider learning about and supporting the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center 🌈: https://bit.ly/MKELGBTVision

The PROM runs it’s final performances this weekend. Come laugh, cry, and be inspired by our PROUD production. You will be welcome with open arms no matter who you love. 💖 https://bit.ly/BTCPROM
