Photos: ROCKY at Tacoma Little Theatre
Rocky will run Friday, June 6, through Sunday, June 29, 2025
Tacoma Little Theatre closes out its 106 th season with a knockout of a show, Rocky, beginning in June. Rocky is directed by Chris Serface, co-directed and choreographed by Ashley Roy-Simpson, and musically directed by Lindsay Delmarter, with fights choreographed by J. Carter.
Rocky Balboa is a small-time Philadelphia boxer who is chosen to take on the reigning world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed, when the undefeated fighter’s scheduled opponent is injured. While he diligently trains for the fight, Rocky begins a relationship with Adrian, a wallflower who is tired of being pushed around by her brother. As their love grows, they find their inner strength and bring out the best in each other. Rocky is a hard-hitting yet tender musical with music and lyrics by Tony®-winners and Academy Award® nominees Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and a book by multiple Tony®-winner Thomas Meehan, adapted from the acclaimed Oscar®-nominated screenplay by Sylvester Stallone.
Tacoma Little Theatre’s production of Rocky features the talents of: Derek Mesford (Rocky), Mariesa Genzale (Adrian), DuWayne Andrews, Jr. (Apollo), Martin Goldsmith (Mickey), Stan Morrow (Paulie), Christina Ramirez (Gloria), Sophie Kashman (Angie), Annelise Martin (Joanne), Ben Bott (Gazzo), Guy Simpson III (Jergens/Ensemble), Charlie Stevens (Spider Rico/Ensemble), Evan Dyck (Dipper Riley/Ensemble), Erin Johnson (Linda/Ensemble), Marty Stiles (Watchman/Ensemble), Joe DeRosier (Buddy/Ensemble), Ellian Kelly (Wysocki/Ensemble), Christine Choate (Shirley/Ensemble), Kareyana Aguon (Apollo’s Girls/Ensemble), LaNita Hudson Walters (Apollo’s Girls/Ensemble), Anna Horn (Apollo’s Girls/Ensemble), Will Morgan (Referee/Ensemble), Teagan McMonagle (Jack/Ensemble), Em Castle (Reporter/Ensemble), Ellie Jay McKee (Reporter/Ensemble), Madalyn Banouvong (Reporter/Ensemble), and Ronni Satterwhite (Reporter/Ensemble).
