Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
SEEKING:
ENSEMBLE: The rest of the members of Dewey’s band “No Vacancy”- Theo, Doug, and Snake. Rock lovers stuck in the 80s / Teachers of Horace Green- Uptight perfectionists who can’t comprehend why their students respond better to the laid-back chill vibes of Dewey. / Parents of the School of Rock students- busy parents who need a “shake-up” to learn how to truly listen and understand to their kids.
