LAKEPORT, Calif. – “Prom” – the word evokes images of corsages, fancy gowns, limo rides, perfectly-posed portraits and carefree teens dancing their hearts out into the wee hours of the morning. 

For many, this event is looked back upon fondly by adults. Unless you're a chaperone, however, you won't likely get to attend another prom after high school – until now.

The Lake County Theatre Co. is bringing back the popular adults-only (21 and over) prom on Saturday, Feb. 18, at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport.

The event will feature the band The Fargo Brothers.

The theme of the prom will be “Bounce Back to the 1980s.”

Attendees are encouraged to come dressed to the nines from the 1980s and a costume contest will be part of the fun.

There will be prizes for the best-dressed and, of course, a prom king and queen will be crowned.

Aside from music our prom will feature a bar and refreshments, a photographer, contests, a raffle, and much more. Specific details will be updated at the theater company’s Web site at www.lakecountytheatrecompany.org .

This event is a fundraiser for LCTC's Joshua Phillips-Blair Memorial building fund. This nonprofit organization rents various buildings around the lake for storage, rehearsals and performances, but the vision is to have a building to call the theater home.

LCTC has steadily been raising money for the cause over the past few years with fundraisers such as the Mr. Lake County Pageant and the Crappy Christmas Carolers, and are excited to add adults-only prom to that list.

Tickets for prom can be purchased online at www.lakecountytheatrecompany.org or at Pieces Boutique in Lakeport.

Advance ticket sales are $25 per person, $40 per couple. At the door, tickets will be $30 per person or $50 per couple.

The party officially starts at 8 p.m. Feb. 18. There will be dance lessons by Zoe and Larry Richardson at the start which might provide an edge for the dance contest later in the evening.
