I guess there are people out there who are still dreaming of a prom do-over, but I solved the problem by not going to my prom and never for one minute regretting it. But if you still imagine there’s some variety of prom that could actually be fun, and anyway, you’re an adult now, so you don’t give two shits what “the popular kids” think, why don’t you attended the Akron Civic Gala Fantasy Prom.
“You’re invited to re-create your high school prom — the way it should have been,” they tease. That means you don’t have to worry about cluck-clucks from your least favorite teacher who’s chaperoning. The chaperones here will have attitude and drink don’t have to be snuck out in the parking lot because, remember, you’re an ADULT now. The evening includes dinner, drink, dancing and photo ops you’ll hopefully regret less than your original prom photo — especially if you had 80s hair!
There’s a VIP reception at 5:30pm, with the immersive gala at 6:30, but there’s no high school hierarchy here. Everyone’s here to have fun. Get more detail and tickets here. And keep in mind that the money raised in going to the ongoing project of restoring and upgrading the treasured Akron Civic Theatre and its surroundings.
