The Broadway hit musical Rock of Ages has had audiences dancing in the aisles the world over. Rock of Ages: Youth Edition has all the 80s rock anthems you (and your parents) know and love, with a fun-filled story of romance, fame, and always believin'!
Set on L.A.'s famous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages tells the story of Drew, a city boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, who have both travelled to L.A. to chase their dreams of making it big and falling in love. This classic love story is set against the troubles at the Dupree Room, a “legendary temple of rock 'n' roll excellence” under threat by developers of being torn down and replaced with a strip mall. The threats of closure bring legendary rocker Stacee Jaxx to town, and an opportunity for Drew to chase his dream to rock out with the best.
Trouble brews as Drew abandons Sherrie for his dream of stardom, rock 'n' roll bad boy Stacee lures Sherrie away, and the Dupree Room is surrendered to developers. Can Drew and Sherrie rescue their love? And can the Dupree Room be saved before it's too late?
Stageworks Acting Academy will bring this rocking show to the Fischer Theatre in this four week performance camp. Four public performances of this 60 minute adaptation will take place July 18-20. There will be no classes on July 3 and 4.
