CAA – PLAN YOUR VISIT – IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

November 3-11 2023

After a scathing review from the New York Times closes their latest show on opening night, a couple of brassy Broadway performers embark on a mission to change the world and in the process, rehabilitate their image. Their chosen cause célèbre is a small town teenager from Indiana whose prom was cancelled by the P.T.A. because she wanted to bring her girlfriend. The Prom is a funny, smart, big-hearted new musical about big Broadway stars, a small town, and a love that unites them all.

April 26 - May 4, 2024

Based on the story of Genesis, the age-old conflict of parents and children takes the stage in this epic, heartfelt Stephen Schwartz musical. Adam, Eve, Noah, and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message that “the hardest part of love, is letting go.”
