Put A Little Music In Your Week With Exit 82's 'Rock Of Ages'

The nonprofit theater company is performing the musical Sunday and next weekend.

Fresh off of its Broadway run, ”Rock Of Ages” is hitting the stage at the Strand Center for the Arts, produced by Exit 82 Theatre Company.

“Rock Of Ages” tells the tale of the end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where mega star Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality.

Amid the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing and falls for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes. But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the Strip into just another strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip–and themselves–before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Poison and more hold the answer!
