The adult prom in Rome, GA is gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting and meaningful charity gatherings in the area.

Blending nostalgia with a chance to make a real difference, this year’s "The Royal Encore" event at the iconic Taylor Estates promises elegance and heartfelt community spirit.

Partygoers dress to impress, coming together to champion the A Night To Remember Foundation and its vital purpose.

Six local leaders—Mindy Tavares, Amber Taylor, Stephen Taylor, Jeremy Salter, Terry Clift—and a tribute for Kim Wilson, the first prom queen, are raising funds and friendly rivalry for the coveted King and Queen titles.

The evening honors tradition while supporting families affected by dementia across Rome.

The foundation offers essential assistance—including respite care and supplies—directly improving neighbors’ lives.

Partnering with the caring closet, they provide supplies to dozens each month—making a genuine impact.

Backing this unique prom strengthens both local bonds and hope for the future.

Excitement is rising in Rome, GA as the city hosts a vibrant worship night aimed at uniting the community through music and shared faith.

Lizzie Morgan, celebrated for her emotional vocals and uplifting spirit, headlines the event, giving attendees the chance to connect deeply with her music and message.

Exclusive VIP perks—such as early entry, reserved seating, and a meet and greet—set an energetic tone before the main gathering.

Giveaways and fresh local food options add to the excitement, as Christian concerts like this often attract enthusiastic, diverse crowds.

As worship fills the air, guests from all backgrounds feel welcomed and encouraged to grow together in faith.

Amid Rome’s ongoing downtown revival, this event nurtures new friendships and spiritual renewal, reflecting Lizzie Morgan’s passion for courageous, community-rooted praise.

An extraordinary young girl with a brilliant mind, a fearless imagination and the courage to challenge the adults who underestimate her takes center stage when Rome Little Theatre presents Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical August 28–30, 2026, at the Rome City Auditorium.

Matilda Wormwood may be small, but she is anything but powerless. Surrounded by careless parents, dismissive grown-ups and the terrifying headmistress Miss Trunchbull, Matilda learns that intelligence and courage can be formidable weapons. With the help of the kindhearted Miss Honey, she begins to discover her own remarkable abilities—and realizes that sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty to make things right.

Filled with memorable music, energetic performances and the wonderfully dark humor associated with Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical is a story about standing up for yourself, protecting others and refusing to let cruel people write your future.

This production will be presented as a special three-day engagement on a single weekend, rather than Rome Little Theatre’s usual two-weekend run. The shortened schedule comes while the stage, proscenium and backstage areas of the Historic DeSoto Theatre, RLT’s longtime home, undergo renovation.

The Rome City Auditorium will provide the temporary stage for Matilda’s story while work continues at the DeSoto.

Rome Little Theatre is scheduled to return to the Historic DeSoto Theatre in April 2027 with the uplifting musical Come From Away. The season will continue there in June 2027 with the comedy Always a Bridesmaid.

Because Matilda The Musical will be offered for only three days, audiences will have a limited opportunity to see this imaginative and inspiring production. Performances are scheduled for August 28–30 at the Rome City Auditorium.

Leo and Lucille Frank are a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in the old red hills of Georgia. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion. Riveting and gloriously hopeful, PARADE reminds us that to love, we must truly see one another.

With a book by acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and a rousing, colorful and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County, Songs For a New World), PARADE combines soaring music with a deeply human story.

Directed by Dawn Parker (Bright Star, 2025), this production brings the Tony Award-winning musical back to the very community where these events unfolded. The result is a powerful theatrical experience that confronts one of the most complex chapters in Georgia history while illuminating the endurance of love, hope, and conviction in the face of overwhelming odds.
