The show runs from November 13-15 at the James Centre and the show starts at 8! Come and watch the show unfold right in front of you.

The Awesome 80's Prom is a brand new blast-from-the-past interactive party in the style of Tony 'n Tina's Wedding set at Wanaget High's Senior Prom...in 1989! All your favorite character...s from your favorite '80s movies are at The Prom, from the Captain of the Football Team to the Exchange Student, from the Geek to the hottie Head Cheerleader, and they're all competing for Prom King and Queen. Just like on "American Idol," the audience decides who wins, all while moonwalking to retro hits like "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go!" Come "Back In Time."

Attend the prom all over again; casual dress is acceptable (although dressing up for the prom is highly encouraged to get in on the fun). Read More
