Show Synopsis:
The show follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out? Based on the hit movie of the same name, Andrew Lloyd Webber brings the high energy of this story to the big stage for an unforgettable production.
We are seeking a diverse cast of children and adults to bring this high-energy musical to life. We invite performers of all ethnic backgrounds, body types, and abilities to audition as we would like our cast to reflect the community we serve. Several of the roles in this show will also require actors who are able to play instruments.
