LEWISTON — “Bring your friends and join for the most fun you’ve had since high school … maybe the most fun you’ve ever had,” said Mitch Thomas, who invites anyone and everyone to enjoy a fun night at the Gendron Franco Center at the “Adult Prom… just like high school… only better” Saturday, April 13, beginning at 7 p.m.
The principal and assistant principal of the fictitious L/A High School, played by Sean Wallace and Thomas, respectively, will once again serve as hosts for the evening of fun. A message from the principal: “We’re all adults here, and you can do anything you want at prom. However, there are rules! Get dressed up and be prepared for a prom night celebration loaded with lots of laughter, great food, music from across the decades, the ‘prom punch’ you always dreamed of, chaperones and many more surprises!”
The evening’s comical dinner-theater program will also include a dance contest, the coronation of the prom king and queen, a photo booth and much more. The doors and bar open for this fun and entertaining evening at 6 p.m. A buffet dinner prepared by the Franco Center staff will be served from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. After that, guests will dance to tunes from across second half of the 20th century until 11:30 p.m. D.J. Eric Lunt of Big Entertainment will return to play “Wolfman Jack.”
