Midsummer Night's Dream - Adult Prom Fundraiser

Bourbon County Community Theatre Hosts First Ever Adult Prom

Bourbon County Community Theatre in Fort Scott hosts Midsummer Night’s Dream, an Adult Prom, as a fundraiser for future events and performances. 

BCCT formed in late June and has worked since then to get up and running so that the people of Bourbon County can soon have the opportunity to participate in and enjoy community theatre again. They are hoping this prom for adults will become an annual night of fun, dancing, and community support.

This formal dance, for anyone age 21 and up, is March 16 in The Legacy Center (the lower level of the old hospital - 401 Woodland Hills Blvd.) in Fort Scott. The promenade begins at 7:45 pm and the dance runs from 8-11 pm. In addition to dancing, there will be non-alcoholic drinks, a charcuterie board, and a chocolate fondue bar included in the ticket price, as well as alcoholic beverages available for purchase from the bar, provided by Sharky’s Restaurant. 

They hope to add to the fun (and success) of the night with some lighthearted music dueling. Attendees can pay $1.00 to request and/or dedicate a song, $5.00 to request a song NOT be played for an hour, or $10.00 for a song to be banned for the night. 

Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at BCCT.ticketspice.com (QR code provided below) or at the door on March 16. Online tickets are $50 per couple or $30 for a single ticket. Tickets purchased at the door will go up in price to $75 per couple or $40 for a single ticket. 

The BCCT board is excited to be offering this event to the people of Fort Scott and surrounding areas and hopes that it will be a success for years to come. 

Members of the BCCT Board include: Matthew Wells, President; Melissa Guns, Vice President; Recording Secretary, Sandra Abati; Correspondence Secretary, Katie Wells; Treasurer, Whitley Chesney; Production Coordinator, Tyler Parker; Public Relations, Delynn Abati; Rene Ludeman; Angie Bin; Alex Chesney; and Danette Popp.
