All Ages Alternative Prom - Dress in your 60's or Prom Attire

Saturday, May 30, 2009, 6 PM - Midnight

The Historic Armory, Ashland

This event began as a way to support gay youth who could not or did not feel safe attending their own proms.  Now, in its fourth year, the Prom attracts people of all sexual and gender identities for a night of fun and community support.  Bands, D.J., Silent Auction, Costume Contest and Prom Coronation, based on social justice awards, comprise the evening.  Three hundred people attended last year where trapeze artists "wowed" the audience.  What's happening this year?  You have to come and see.  The theme is "Gender Riot!  Celebrating the 60's and the Stonewall Riots' 40th Anniversary."
