Anacostia: Nameless Theater Group Premiers "Death at the Prom" at Uniontown Bar & Grill

Nameless, a newly formed DC-based theater company, announces the premiere of Death at the Prom, a modern murder mystery comedy show. The site-specific production, takes place in the midst of a high school prom where disaster strikes. The production is the second production in Nameless' Happy Hour Theatre series..this new production is at Uniontown Bar & Grill, one of only two sit down restaurants in the transitioning Anacostia neighborhood, which will morph into the prom of Green Meadow High- a fictional school plagued with the typical student cliques, overworked teachers and an overzealous principal on a mission to reclaim the school. 

 "Nameless is thrilled to bring this theatrical event to the Anacostia neighborhood, which is also home to the Anacostia Arts Center."

Attendees will gather clues, question suspects and bring the murderer to justice. Rather than observing the show from behind the safety of the fourth wall, Death at the Prom, catapults audiences from their seats and into the zany world of the show. Happy Hour Theater is a new after-work event where patrons are invited to experience theater in an unconventional way, during the familiar setting of ʻhappy hour’. In addition to enjoying drink and food specials, attendees will also benefit from a quality theater experience at a low affordable price. Death at the Prom will run for three nights in April. (16th, 23rd & 30th)

This event has already been renewed for a larger run at Touche' Supper Club, on H Street NE, which will hold upwards of 200 guests. At the height of prom season, these shows will be held on Saturdays in May and attendees will be strongly encouraged to dress in prom attire.

SHOW SYNOPSIS
It’s the moment Green Meadow High students have been waiting their entire high school careers for - prom night! But before students can learn who has won the coveted Prom King & Queen crown, the elegant night takes a deadly turn. With tensions running high, it is up to Mr. Franklin, a timid History teacher, to muster the courage to catch a killer.
