Get Schooled -- "School of Rock - The Musical" Opens at Playhouse 22

Based on the Paramount movie with the same name, by Mike White starring Jack Black, 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. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by the production’s young actors every night with roof-raising energy!

Devin Massih serves as the director, with music direction Liam McGeary and Raven Dunbar as choreographer.

The show will run November 1 - 17 with performances on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

The theater is conveniently located at the Elliott Taubenslag Theater at the East Brunswick Community Arts Center, 721 Cranbury Road, East Brunswick.

Tickets are $24/adults and $22/seniors and students, and they must be purchased at Playhouse22.org or over the phone at 732-254-3939.
