School of Rock
starts March 13
PUTNAM — The Complex Performing and Creative Arts Centre will present “School of Rock the Musical” at The Bradley Playhouse March 13, 14, and 15.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. March 13 and 14 and at 2 p.m. March 15 at the Bradley Playhouse on Front Street. Tickets are $16 for students and seniors and $19 for adults. 860-928-7887.
With the help of several local musicians, these student performers have become a rock band in their own rite. All of the music will be played live onstage at each performance. The cast of School of Rock the Musical is made up of students of The Complex and community youth between the ages of 11 and 18. Seana Hendrickson directs, with Emily Zornado music directing and Nichola Johnson choreographing.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award nominated musical follows wannabe-rock star Dewey Finn as he is kicked out of his band right before the Battle of the Bands competition. Down on his luck and looking for a way to pay rent, Finn impersonates his roommate and accepts a job as a substitute teacher at a posh school.
