The Huntsville Festival (HfA) of the Arts and the Rotary Club of Huntsville are pleased to announce that tickets are on sale for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “School of Rock” running from April 5-14, 2024 at the Algonquin Theatre.
Based on the hit movie starring Jack Black, this hilarious musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
Led by local director Sarah Vanasse, the community theatre production will feature the talents of over 70 local performers and crew members of all ages, half of which are local youth. “We are absolutely blown away by the incredible talent of local youth. ” Says Dan Watson, Executive Director of HfA. “This show is so fun, and the group is so inspiring. You don’t want to miss it!”
Advance tickets for School of Rock are now on sale exclusively to HfA Members. The General Public can purchase tickets starting January 26, 2024 at 10am through huntsvillefestival.ca or by calling the Algonquin Theatre box office at 705-789-4975.
