The Reston Community Players are proud to present Rock of Ages, the Musical, March 10 – April 1, 2017 - A show you don't want to miss!!!

Rock of Ages takes you back to the times of big 80’s rock bands, with big egos playing big guitar solos, and sporting even bigger hair! This is a story of love, dreams, and – of course – rock! The musical production is the ultimate classic 80s experience. Aspiring rock star, Drew, and aspiring actress, Sherrie, try to prevent developers from turning the Sunset Strip into a strip mall.

Break out your air guitar and Aqua Net, and join us for Rock of Ages.
