Cast And Creative Team Set for ROCK OF AGES at The Actors Studio Of New Jersey
Jason Kopp and Callie Henrysen lead the cast at Dunellen Theatre, directed by Michael Restaino.
The Actors Studio of New Jersey has revealed the full cast and creative team for its electrifying summer production of the smash-hit jukebox musical Rock of Ages, rocking the historic Dunellen Theatre as part of the company's 2026 season and ongoing residency. The production runs June 19 through June 28, 2026, with performances every Friday and Saturday at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. All performances will be held at Dunellen Theatre.
Set on Los Angeles' legendary Sunset Strip in the late 1980s, Rock of Ages follows a small-town girl and a city boy who chase their Hollywood dreams in a world of big hair, bigger guitar solos, and iconic 80s rock anthems. When greedy developers threaten to demolish their favorite rock club, an outrageous band of misfits, dreamers, and wannabe rock gods join forces to save the music - and discover love, identity, and the power of a perfect power ballad along the way. Packed with era-defining hits and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, Rock of Ages delivers a high-octane, feel-good night out that keeps audiences cheering, dancing, and singing along.
Leading the cast are Jason Kopp as Drew Boley and Callie Henrysen as Sherrie Christian, alongside Sam Stickels as Lonny Barnett, Andre Williams as Dennis Dupree, Juliana Conte as Regina, Harry Sperduto as Stacee Jaxx, and Nia Chavis as Justice Charlier. Rounding out the principal cast are Jason Tobias as Franz Klinemann, Larry Brustofski as Hertz Klinemann, Arianna Cacioppo as Waitress #1, Julia Schicatano and Olivia Swanson as Waitresses #2 and #3, Connor Geib as Joey Primo, and Marquise Neal as Ja'Keith Gill.
Rock of Ages is directed and choreographed by Michael Restaino and musically directed by Kevin W. Egan. The production features set design by Chuck Lid, wig design by Robert Delgado, intimacy direction by Chandy Bennett, sound design by Scott Festa, and lighting design by James Russo. Show supervision is provided by Kaity Cherkassky, with production management by James Russo, Dan F. Sims, and Joey Palazzo.
