Musical Theatre of Anthem Announces SCHOOL OF ROCK

Musical Theatre of Anthem, in collaboration with Rhapsody School of Music, kicks off their 10th Season with School of Rock, a brand-new musical based on the famous Paramount film written by Mike White, which starred Jack Black. A production for ages 9-18, the 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. Completely disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

July 10-21 (M-F) 9 a.m. with rehearsal immediately following. MTA's performance space, 42323 N. Vision Way, Anthem. COST: $325. PERFORMANCES: July 20-23

All workshops and rehearsals will be held at Musical Theatre of Anthem, 42323 N. Vision Way, Anthem, AZ 85086. Register online at www.musicaltheatreofanthem.org. Payment is due upon registration, and a 10% sibling discount is available. Scholarships are also available for performers who might not be able to participate otherwise. Space is limited!
