The cast of the Washougal High School advanced acting class production of "The Awesome '80s Prom" strikes a post at the school theater on April 11.

For its final production of the 2018-19 school year, the Washougal High School advanced acting class wanted to challenge itself. The students wanted to test the limits of their abilities while learning new skills at the same time. They just simply weren’t interested in doing what they had done in the past.

At the same time, they remembered how much fun they had embracing nostalgia during their 1980s-era production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” the year before. They approached drama teacher Kelly Gregersen and told them of their choice: “The Awesome ’80s Prom,” an interactive play written by Ken Davenport that debuted off-Broadway in 2004.
