School Theater
There are a few little obstacles with the prom this year. First,
it's taking place at an abandoned inn, which not only needs to
be fixed up (with a bulldozer!) but is inhabited by the ghosts of a
gangster and his moll who are not happy about being disturbed.
Next, the kids on the prom committee have dates with all the
wrong people and can't stop playing dating roulette. And finally,
the love-starved janitor who has been dreaming for 20 years to
marry Miss Gray, their teacher, is holding everyone hostage.
And you thought not knowing how to dance was a problem! This
is some enchanted evening you'll never forget!
On the Ellsworth High School Stage:
