Events on Aug. 7 and 8 will include music, dancing, refreshments
and more to make up for canceled high school celebrations
NEW ON-SALE DATE: JULY 6
CARMEL, IN – High school seniors whose proms have been canceled this spring will have another chance Aug. 7 and 8 when the Center for the Performing Arts hosts Prom at the Palladium.
Graduating seniors from throughout Central Indiana are invited to choose a night and bring a guest for just $10 per person. General admission tickets, limited to four per household, go on sale July 6 at TheCenterPresents.org. More information is available at Tickets@TheCenterPresents.org.
Starting at 8 p.m. each evening, Prom at the Palladium will feature a DJ and dancing on the concert hall stage, refreshments in the lobbies, a photo station and other standard features of a high school prom.
“Our staff realized that, as a result of the current stay-at-home restrictions, this year’s graduates are missing out on some traditional milestones of the high school experience,” said Jeffrey C. McDermott, President/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation. “In light of our mission as a nonprofit, community-based organization, we saw an opportunity to step up and try to fill that gap for the people we serve. We also think it will be a lot of fun.”
Attendance will be limited to 400 each night. Chaperones and security guards will be on duty, and student IDs will be required for admission.
