Unmatched Academic Results

I am often asked about how and why I select the shows for the season here at PTC. Is there a plan? Is there a formula? No, not really. I select shows I like, I select shows that, I hope, offer a variety of experiences, feelings, and emotions—and sometimes I just select stories that simply need to be told. Not because I have an agenda, but because it will make for a good theatrical experience.

The Prom is a wonderful theatrical experience: singing, dancing, comedy, crazy characters, and a whole lot of heart. It’s also Pioneer Theatre Company’s way of supporting those in the LGBTQIA+ community who may be feeling excluded or unwelcome in this current climate. We offer it with a full heart and open arms.
