BE PART OF THE STORY
School of Rock The Musical presents the opportunity to be part of a rock musical featuring the iconic kids and adults from the 2003 hit movie. Packed with laugh-out-loud moments and quirky characters, this crowd-pleasing high-energy show is as fun to perform as it is to watch. With a strong ensemble and many featured roles for youth and adults, there are also four youth roles (between ages 10-14) that will rock out playing their instruments live onstage!

Freddie (Youth) – Drums

1) ALL: Please learn CHOREOGRAPHY
School of Rock will come to life with lively choreography and musical staging. While choreography is a part of any musical, School of Rock is less of a dance show than some productions – so you don’t have to be a strong dancer! We are providing a choreography video for you to learn the piece in advance. All performers will review and then perform the requested dance number during your audition. Please dress for movement.
