Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme … You better get me to school on time!
“School of Rock,” a two-act musical based on the hit movie, opens Friday night, Oct. 20, for three performances in Harrison United Methodist Church on Highway 58. The musical is presented by Closed Door Entertainment.
Dewey Finn is a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a supply teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.
But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?
Principal actors in the cast of two dozen adults and children are Gabe Hubbard as Dewey Finn, Pearl Parrott as Rosalie Mullins, Ethan Burns as Ned Schneebly and Savannah Jackson as Patty.
Youth actors are Kara Mullins, Kiera Geren, Ben DeWitt, Carter McKissick, Ava Grace, Sara Murphy, Hannah Shiver, Ella DeWitt, Olivia Gonzalez, Caleigh Jackson, Ben Gonzalez, Acadia Phillips and Eliza Griffey.
