School of Rock

Director: Luke Perkins
Music Director: Taylor Roberts
Music: Andrew Lloyd Weber
Lyrics: Glenn Slater
Book: Julian Fellowes
School of Rock is a brand new musical based on the famous Paramount film written by Mike White, which starred Jack Black. The 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. Completely disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

Dairy Arts Center, Boulder, CO
Director: Taylor Roberts
Music and Lyrics: Lin-Manuel Miranda
Book: Quiara Alegría Hudes
In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

This musical romp through the joys and sorrows of being a child is hilarious.
