With a lineup packed with live music, dazzling drag performances, and a multi-floor experience paying homage to Lady Gaga’s extravagant world, this year’s Q-Prom promises to be an unforgettable celebration of diversity, self-expression, and unity.

Redefining Prom Beyond High School

It is a chance for all to come together, rejoice, and create lasting memories,” said Chris Lyon, co-founder of ShrevePride.

ShrevePride’s dedication to inclusivity is exemplified by their provision of scholarship tickets for those facing financial constraints. “No one should be deprived of the opportunity to partake in Pride celebrations due to financial limitations. Our scholarship tickets ensure that everyone can join in the fun,” Ortiz added.
