Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at the prestigious Horace Green School. When he discovers his straight-laced students’ hidden musical talent, he transforms them into a rock band to compete in the Battle of the Bands — all while keeping their secret from the school’s strict principal, Rosalie Mullins. This high-energy show is packed with comedy, heart, and a driving rock score. It offers fantastic opportunities for performers of all ages.

Written By: Finegan Kruckemeyer
Creative Team: Director Brooke DuBois

Oslo Rogers has a very fun mum called Ruthy, and lives in a very fun town called Mellingong. But now a very unfun problem (called a big approaching storm) is forcing everyone to head for The Clondike, the big town hall on the hill.
And they can only take a few important things each: ‘love luggage’, Ruthy calls it. And she’s a milk-lady, and owns a milk-float, and those can hold lots of love luggage… if you pack them right.
So Oslo sets out to help the people of Mellingong, and to discover the things they love the most – the things you would save from a storm.
An entertaining show for children and their families.

The Man Who Came To Dinner

Written By: George S Kaufman and Moss Hart
Creative Team: Director Sue Wylie
Featuring Peter Goers as Sheridan Whiteside

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley are thrilled when Sheridan Whiteside, a brilliant, witty, and widely beloved radio celebrity, accepts their invitation to dinner on his tour through their little town of Mesalia, Ohio.
When Whiteside injures himself by slipping on a piece of ice on their doorstep, and is confined to their home for the better part of December, the Stanleys are not so pleased with the change in their household. He fills the library with penguins and cockroaches, and invites a band of paroled convicts over for lunch.
Whiteside’s secretary Maggie Cutler, falls in love with Bert Jefferson, a personable young reporter with ambitions to be a playwright. When she declares that she will leave her job to marry him, Whiteside panics. He calls on glamorous vamp Lorraine Sheldon, to lure Bert away from Maggie, under the guise of pursuing his brilliant play.
Maggie counters with a trick of her own.With Maggie preparing to leave his service, married or not, and Mr. Stanley preparing to throw him out into the snow, a newly contrite Sheridan Whiteside must save the day armed only with his knowledge of famous murderers, his friend Banjo’s airplane to Nova Scotia, and his newly acquired mummy case, sent as a Christmas present from the Khedive of Egypt.
