*We caught up with Hollywood’s next IT GIRL, Monique Green, star of Disney Branded TV’s new romantic comedy, “Prom Pact.”
The Miami native appeared in several TV shows, including “Criminal Minds,” “This is Us” and “black-ish” – all while maintaining her studies at Loyola Marymount University where she graduated Cum Laude with a degree in psychology, Mandarin, and Asian Pacific studies.
In “Prom Pact,” Monique stars as Latoya Reynolds, a beautiful popular high school cheerleader who catches the eye of the school nerd. But how does she really feel about him? We caught up with the rising star to get the scoop!
Here’s the film’s official synopsis: “It’s the height of prom season, and high school senior Mandy Yang (Lee) and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben (Manheim) are surrounded by over-the-top ’80s-themed promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out that she has been put on the waitlist, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself accepted, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors — popular all-star jock Graham Lansing (Draper), whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham’s tutor, she begins to realize there’s more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.”

Director Anya Adams said of the film: “One of the things we were really excited about was that we feathered all this stuff in and people can enjoy this and have a good time. And if you want to have a conversation about what it’s like to be driven and want to go to Harvard, and how that impacts you, you can do that. If you want to have a conversation about different ways to talk about sex, you can do that or not,” Adams told What’s On Disney Plus.
Comedian Margaret Cho plays Miss Chen in “Prom Pact,” a character “reminiscent of Annie Potts from Pretty in Pink,” she told What’s On Disney Plus.
Cho added, “It’s somebody who is a grown-up, but really understands what it’s like to be a kid. And I think that’s really meaningful.”
EUR’s Ny MaGee further unpacked the characters in “Prom Pact” with Monique Green and she shared her own experiences with proposals in high school. Check out our exclusive conversation via the clip below.
“Prom Pact” premiered March 30 on Disney Channel and is currently streaming on Disney+.
