Emma, a high school student, has her prom canceled after she plans to attend with her girlfriend. This sparks a controversy that draws in a group of former Broadway actors. They come to "help" but end up learning about empathy, growth, and true acceptance. The story mixes humor and emotion, celebrating courage, being true to yourself, and the freedom to be who you are.

The bricks of the background were made of paint. Sponge was used to dab different colors and then pressed onto the surface to mimic the look of brick. Shadows and highlights are added with a brush to make it look more realistic.
