Phoenix Productions to Hold Auditions for "School of Rock - The Musical"

​​​​​​​(RED BANK, NJ) -- Phoenix Productions, the community theatre company of the Count Basie Center for the Arts, has announced auditions for its summer production of School Of Rock – The Musical, on May 18-19 and May 21. The play tells the story of Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There, Dewey turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can Dewey get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s leadership finding out?  With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, this musical features 14 new songs as well as songs from the movie.
