The charming and agreeable principle, Mr. Greene (Courtenay Collins), nix the idea immediately. So when Emma (Caitlin Kinnunen) announces she wants to take her girlfriend, Alyssa (Isabelle McCalla), to the prom, the mothers of the PTA, led by Mrs. The Prom is set in Indiana, in a small town apparently unaware that lesbians and gays have finally achieved not only everyday equality, but also the right to marry their beloved.
