Come dance at The Prom!
New Century Players Community Theatre, in collaboration with the Milwaukie High School Theatre Department, announces auditions for the musical THE PROM.
Four fading Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. When they hear that trouble is brewing in a small town where one student wants to take her girlfriend to prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves.
