A Philly staple, the annual PromTrash was one of the first alternative proms in the area. Audience participation is encouraged: Attendees will compete with the actors for the title of Miss PromTrash. For this final event, The Dumpsta Players will bring back audience favorites like Needles Jones, Mrs. Miller and Amanda Playwythe.
