Playhouse on the Square presents ROCK oF AGES
It's the tail end of the big bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip's last legendary venues, but the rock-and-roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can the dream be saved before it's too late? Only the music of hit bands like Styx, Poison, Guns N' Roses, Whitesnake, and more hold the answers.
Leading this rock n' roll musical are Associate Company Member Kathryn Kilger (Peter Pan; Sisters of Swing) as Sherrie and Isaac Middleton (Junie B. in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells; Memphis the Musical) as Drew. They are joined by Stephen Garret (Zombies from the Beyond) as Lonny, and Jarrad Baker (Peter Pan; Memphis the Musical) as Dennis Dupree. Chris Steinmetz is making his Playhouse on the Square debut as Stacee Jaxx. Rock of Ages is directed by Scott Ferguson (The Rocky Horror Show) and choreographed by Travis Bradley (Sister Act; Memphis the Musical).
Rock of Ages runs January 20th - February 12th at Playhouse on the Square. Rock of Ages is sponsored by The Jeniam Foundation, Grayson Smith Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning, and Signworks. The Circuit Playhouse Inc. Super Sponsor is Dr. Thomas Ratliff.
The Pay-What-You-Can Performance is Thursday, January 26th at 8pm and is sponsored by ArtsZone/AutoZone and Southland Park Gaming and Racing. Playhouse on the Square is located at 66 S. Cooper St. For more information or to make reservations, please call 901-726-4656 or purchase tickets online at playhouseonthesquare.org.
