ROCK OF AGES
Performances / AUG 2 - 11, 2024
Wanna ROCK?! Midland Center for the Arts is seeking actors ages 18 and up for all roles in Center Stage Theatre's production of ROCK OF AGES, on the Outdoor Stage!
About the Musical / Journey back to the 80's in this high-energy Broadway musical that tells the story of a small-town girl, a city boy, and a rock 'n' roll romance on the Sunset Strip. Aspiring rock star Drew has dreams to be the next big thing while also longing for Sherri, a girl fresh off the bus from Kansas. When the bar where rock reigns supreme is set to be demolished by German developers, it's up to these wannabe rockers and their band of friends to save the day - and the music!
ROCK OF AGES' electric score, accompanied by a live rock band, features all your favorite 80's rock anthems and power ballads, including: “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “I Wanna Know What Love Is,” “Here I Go Again,” “We Built This City,” “Don't Stop Believin’,” and more!
