THE COMMUNITY PLAYERS PRESENTS
The Prom
PAWTUCKET, RI – Rhode Island's oldest community theater, The Community Players, currently
celebrating their 102nd season, is proud to present The Prom from April 12 – April 21, 2024.
After the disastrous opening of their latest show, four Broadway stars are in desperate need of a
new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town Indiana prom—and the
press is involved—they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves. The
town’s parents want to keep the dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants
to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. The Prom is based on an
original concept by Jack Viertel, with book by Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin, lyrics by Chad
Beguelin, and music by Matthew Sklar.
Directed by Christopher Margadonna of Pawtucket, with music direction by Joe Carvalho of
Providence, and choreography by Julia Gillis of North Smithfield, the production features the talents
of Kylie Cartier of Warwick, Jennifer Gillis of North Smithfield, Mitchell Burns of Providence, Greg
Gillis of North Smithfield, Giana Manzi of Milton, MA, Anthony DeRose of Lincoln, Michael Evora of
Providence, Nancy Kimble of Providence, Michael Viveiros of East Providence, Michael Mercado of
Providence, Kathryn Kimble of Portsmouth, Angelina Manfredi of Pawtucket, Alysha Melkoun of
West Warwick, Kayden Chevalier of Worcester, MA, Max Cichoski of Cumberland, Molly Donnelly of
North Providence, Amanda Grimaldi of Abington, MA, Andrea Hellman of Pawtucket, Billie Kennedy
of Providence, Desiree Magnifico of Warwick, Shelby Martel of East Providence, Collen Mahoney of
Providence, Timothy Murray of Warwick, Meinca Pinchinat of North Providence, Nathan Pothier of
Smithfield, Harrie Salk of North Providence, Daniel Thompson of Coventry, Mitch Bertolino of
Leominster, MA and Samara Wald of Pawtucket.
