AUSTEN’S PRIDE
A NEW MUSICAL OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
Lincoln Center
THE PROM
Six-time Emmy Award Winner, Ryan Murphy, will adapt the original new Broadway musical THE PROM as the first movie project under his groundbreaking Netflix deal. Ryan Murphy saw the show and was so taken by it, he collaborated with THE PROM to buy out half of the house as a charity performance benefiting multiple causes close to his heart including the Hetrick-Martin Institute, GLAAD, and The Trevor Project. Youth from these organization - some seeing a Broadway show for the first time - were joined by celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker, Glenn Close, Jane Krakowski, Ben Platt, Gus Kenworthy, Sandra Bernhard, Laura Dreyfuss, Janet Mock, Matthew Morrison, Bernadette Peters, Billy Porter, Andrew Rannells, MJ Rodriguez, Christian Siriano, Amit Paley, and many more.
THE PROM Gives Back!
Joe attended the 2018 International Thespian Festival held by the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) on behalf of THE PROM to announce a groundbreaking give back. Dedicated to youth and being the agent of change, THE PROM will donate a portion of all ticket sales to EdTA which is committed to supporting theatre programs and schools in need. To make a splash, Joe gave a keynote speech, taught master classes of original choreography from THE PROM, and led a flashmob of select students at the closing ceremony.
