With our upcoming production of THE PROM, there’s a whole lot of corsages and unforgettable memories headed to our stage this summer. So we thought, what better way to celebrate than by taking a trip back in time? We asked the cast and artistic team of THE PROM to share their actual prom photos, and let’s just say the looks did not disappoint! Check out these throwback moments that are guaranteed to make you smile.

LEXI JOHNSON, Kaylee/Ensemble | Benilde-St. Margaret‘s Class of 2014

“This is actually my junior prom in 2013! We were doing THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE at the time, so in true theater kid fashion we re-created the end pose of the opening number at our prom pictures.”

PARKER DAVID PAYNE. Sheldon/Ensemble | Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists Class of 2019

“Fun fact! Since I went to an arts high school, they call Prom 'Finale' because what else would it be.”

Catch Lexi and Parker in THE PROM opening at Lyric Arts July 10 thru August 9! Grab your tickets to the party of the summer at www.lyricarts.org/prom
