    School of Rock

    July 23rd - July 27th, 2025

    Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time! Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony-nominated smash hit musical premiered on Broadway in 2015. Based on the hilarious hit movie, this new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. This Musical, with its sensational live kids’ rock band, is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music.
