Auditions

Auditions: Monday, April 20, or Tuesday, April 21, at 7pm each night at BCT

Production:  June 12 – June 28, 2026 (3 weekends)

Direction by: Aaron Eechaute-Lopez

The Show:

Based on the hit film, School of Rock: 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. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally teaching them how to rock out, stick it to the man, and find themselves in the process.

With an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Glenn Slater, this high-octane smash features 14 new songs and all the original songs from the movie. It’s a hilarious, heartfelt celebration of individuality, creativity, and the transformative power of rock and roll.
