MATAMORAS, PA — The Prom, an Upper Delaware GLBT Center (UDGLBT) event will be held on Saturday, April 16 at 7 p.m. at the Best Western Inn at Hunt’s Landing, located at 120 Route 6 and 209. This year’s theme is “Hooray for Hollywood.”

The dinner/dance will be held in the ballroom and will feature the audacious local celebrity “Sugar,” with music provided by DJ Flow and Hot–Traxx Entertainment. Formal pictures will be taken, and there will also be a photo booth, provided by Flash Shack. Come dressed in your glamorous Hollywood best, as your favorite movie character, or simply as a movie extra—dressed the way you are right now.

The prom is an inclusive, festive gala replete with the traditional and commemorative aspects of a prom, but designed for a broad spectrum of guests. It is an opportunity for the community to show our young people, many of whom struggle every day, that their lives and their social experiences can be enjoyable and memorable even during their teen years. For adolescents who are LGBT or who have yet to resolve their sexual or gender identity and comfort zone, the teen years can be a bitter battleground, internally and externally. The Prom allows them to comfortably come solo or to bring whomever they wish as a date and to be themselves.

Tickets cost $50 for adults and $30 for ages 14 to 20. Tickets can be purchased at www.udglbt.org, by sending a check to UDGLBT, PO Box 1295, Milford, PA 18337; or in person from Kris Jarmann at Wells Fargo, 224 Broad St., Milford.
