11th Hour Theatre Company Hosts Annual Philly Rocks Concert
By: Gabrielle Sierra
Each year, 11th Hour Theatre Company lets go of its musical theatre chops for one night to raise the roof and stage an all-out rock concert to raise funds for the company. This year, the company is hosting its 5th annual fundraiser, called Philly Rocks Your Playlist on Monday, February 22, at 7 p.m. (Quizzo and dinner start at 6 p.m.) The festival is moving to World Café Live, 3025 Walnut Street, for the first time ever. Tickets cost $20 are available at www.11thhourtheatrecompany.org or by calling the box office at 267-987-9865.
Prior to this year's fundraiser, 11th Hour surveyed its audience to see what songs they wanted to hear. Fans of the company voted on a list of modern and classic rock hits for both male and female vocalists. The final set list is top secret and will not be revealed until the night of the show. The concert will be hosted by Jess Conda. Slated to sing are: Michael Philip O'Brien, Steve Pacek, Dan Kazemi, Jonathan Shade, Noah Mazaika, Tom DelPizzo, Marissa K. Hines, Jennie Eisenhower, Laura Catlaw, Colleen Hazlett, Alex Keiper, and Megan Nicole O'Brien. The band includes: Dan Kazemi, Nero Catalano, Rich Hill, Bob McGilloway and Mark Cristofaro.Tickets give party goers a chance to enter two rounds of Quizzo and participate in a raffle before the concert. Concert goers can also order from World Café Live's new menu. Prizes include Phillies tickets and rock and roll memorabilia. Funds raised will go to support the company and their upcoming Spring show, the Philadelphia premiere of the off-Broadway smash Rooms.11th Hour Theatre Company is a not-for-profit company committed to expanding one of the truly great American art forms...musical theatre.
