The stars head to a small town to put a spotlight on themselves and the issue of one student who wants to bring her girlfriend to the prom. Cultures clash as the reputation of the lead, Emma, and the community is on the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Jordan Berger, the musical producer, casting was especially challenging this year due to the spectacular talent possessed by J-D students. Bronchetti, who plays the lead role of Emma Nolan says, \u201cI definitely did not think I\u2019d get the role of Emma. There are so many talented seniors this year so I really thought I didn\u2019t stand a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berger says he\u2019s excited to work on his fourth production at J-D and acknowledges the success of the musical goes beyond the talent of the cast. Besides a very talented cast, the musical will have a live pit band, an amazing crew, and an exceptional production team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKnowing how the directors work they\u2019re going to make the process efficient to get the show done and make sure that everyone is having fun the whole way,\u201d says Millea, who plays the role of Trent Oliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The musical choice was a hard one this year, as not many schools have put on a production of \u201cThe Prom\u201d yet. For this production, the musical will be working with J-D\u2019s Gender and Sexuality Alliance club to build on the show\u2019s theme of acceptance and inclusivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meskos, who plays Dee Dee Allen, says, \u201cI am excited for everyone to see the amazing message this show has. It is unlike any musical J-D has done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"19386\" src=\"https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971-773x1024.jpg 773w, https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971-768x1018.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971-696x922.jpg 696w, https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971-317x420.jpg 317w, https:\/\/jdrampage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_2971.jpg 985w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;Prom&#8221; Cast List<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J-DHS musical production presents this year&#8217;s musical: \u201cThe Prom!\u201d The production will star junior Alex Bronchetti, senior Nicki Meskos, junior Thomas Vander Molen, senior Ella Brann, and senior Ethan Millea.
