DURYEA — Phoenix Performing Arts Centre presents “SCHOOL OF ROCK: The Musical” at their Duryea theater. This cast of kids and young adults are ready to take the stage on opening day, March 17, and ROCK OUT!

This musical is appropriate for the whole family. The production is based on the hilarious hit movie “School of Rock” starring Jack Black.

Follow 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.
