School of Rock
Frankston Arts Centre
January 2025
Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a supply teacher at a prestigious prep school.
There he turns a class of straight – A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping mind-blowing rock band.
It is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music.
May the spirit of rock be with the community who pledge allegiance to the band!
