Set on Los Angeles’ famed Sunset Strip, Rock of Ages follows aspiring rocker Drew and small-town dreamer Sherrie as they chase stardom, love, and big hair in a world where the music of Journey, Bon Jovi, whitesnake and others keeps spirits high. Expect powerhouse vocals, outrageous comedy, and plenty of air-guitar moments.

Director Alex Thompson couldn’t be prouder of the team’s progress. “This is more than a musical—it’s a party,” Alex enthuses. “The cast has poured their hearts into every rehearsal. Audiences can expect a night where they’ll laugh, sing along, and maybe even dust off their own air guitars. We can’t wait to share that joy with the community.”
