Malden resident takes the stage in “The Prom”

  SpeakEasy Stage Company presents “The Prom” by Chad Beguelin, Bob Martin and Matthew Sklar. The 2019 Drama Desk Award winner for Outstanding Musical tells the story of an Indiana high school student who wants to take her girlfriend to their prom. When four bumbling Broadway has-beens in search of relevance hear about the controversy, they barge into town to put a spotlight on the issue – and themselves. Nonstop laughs and show-stopping dance numbers make “The Prom” a feel-good musical with a message more timely than ever.

  Performer Meagan Lewis-Michelson resides in Malden and was born and raised in Everett. Meagan (she/her) makes her SpeakEasy Stage Company debut as Sheldon Saperstein in “The Prom,” and she has appeared in numerous regional productions, as well as off-Broadway in “The Big Bang Theory” and in the national tour of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Meagan has a B.A. from Harvard College and an MFA from Boston Conservatory.

  The Prom runs May 5–June 3 at the Roberts Studio Theatre in the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts (527 Tremont St. in Boston’s South End). More information is available at https://speakeasystage.com/shows/2023/05/the-prom/
