A November theatre outing at Interlochen Center for the Arts will offer audiences a choice between two evenings and a Sunday matinee.

Interlochen’s Musical Theatre Company is staging The Prom at Corson Auditorium November 13–15.

The official performance pages list Friday and Saturday starts at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday’s show at 2 p.m., all Eastern time.

For Grand Traverse households choosing a weekend outing, those options make it possible to start with the performance time that suits the group.

The story behind the title

The musical follows Broadway performers who arrive in a small Indiana town to support a student who wants to take her girlfriend to prom.

Interlochen’s description frames the production around acceptance and community, with comedy and musical numbers.

The event credits Chad Beguelin for book and lyrics, Bob Martin for book and Matthew Sklar for music.

Readers who have not seen the show can begin with that premise and the organizer’s description before deciding whether it fits their interests.

There is no need to know every song or plot turn before attending a musical.

Check the audience guidance

The performance pages explicitly note mature content.

That is useful information for anyone considering a family visit, even though the ticket categories include younger audiences.

Review the description with the people coming and ask the box office about any specific content questions you need answered.

A ticket category by itself does not establish whether a production is right for a particular child.

Choose the outing around your own group’s interests and comfort.

Pick a performance before buying

The organizer lists adult tickets at $38 and child-through-college tickets at $19.

Check the event page for your selected day and review the final booking details directly through Interlochen.

Before paying, confirm the date, start time, admission category and seats.

If you are coordinating with friends, settle on one performance first so different households do not accidentally book different nights.

Keep the confirmation somewhere easy to find and share the date clearly.

Make Corson the destination

The campus address is 4000 J Maddy Parkway in Interlochen.

Interlochen’s venue guide identifies Corson as an indoor auditorium, separate from the campus’s other performance spaces.

Consult the official map before traveling and leave time to park and walk to the building.

If dinner is part of the outing, allow a comfortable margin before the performance rather than treating the curtain time as an arrival target.

For Sunday, the afternoon start may call for a different meal and travel plan than an evening show.

Ask about access before choosing seats

Interlochen publishes accessibility information covering parking, drop-off areas, seating and listening support.

Review that page if those arrangements affect your visit, and discuss specific needs with the box office before booking.

A clear seating plan can make the whole outing easier for everyone attending.

The venue guide lists the box office at 231-276-7800 and [email protected].

Leave time for the performance itself

Keep later commitments flexible until you have checked any available running-time information.

Silence devices and settle belongings before the show begins.

Afterward, a conversation about a favorite song, character or scene can give the group an easy way to share the experience.

Recheck the official announcement before your date, then enjoy an Interlochen theatre weekend chosen to fit your schedule.
