School of Rock

October 14, 2024
School of Rock is coming to Civic Theater of Greater Lafayette in November! Would your family enjoy the show? Read below!  Directed by Laurie Russell, Music Direction by Paul Addison, and Choreography by TJ Rosa.

Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star down on his luck. After Dewey is kicked out of his band and threatened with eviction, his fortunes take a turn for the better when he intercepts a phone call meant for his flat mate, Ned Schneebly. He quickly decides to make some cash and pose as Ned to take up a supply teaching post at Horace Green, a prestigious prep school. He is horrified to discover that his strait-laced and straight-A students haven’t a clue about rock and roll, and he makes it his mission to educate them. Dewey realizes they are a talented bunch, and he decides to mold them into a rock band and enter the upcoming Battle of the Bands competition. However, he must do all this away from the prying eyes of the school’s principal, Rosalie Mullins. Along the way, Dewey finds romance, self-worth, a proper job, and, most importantly, teaches the children and their parents the beauty of rock!
