BAAC_School of RockSCHOOL OF ROCK the Musical
Batesville Area Arts Council
June 21-23
Batesville High School Auditorium [Batesville, Ind.]

Directed by David Derringer
Musical Direction by Bill Rethlake and Eric Linville
Co-produced by Carleigh Siebert and Kendra Basler​

Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock, The Musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who is down on his luck. After Dewey is kicked out of his band, and threatened with eviction, he intercepts a phone call meant for his flatmate, Ned Schneebly. Dewey quickly decides to make a bit of cash and pose as Ned to take a substitute teaching job at Horace Green, a prestigious prep school. His straight-laced and straight-A students haven’t a clue about rock and roll, and Dewey decides to educate them and then mold them into a rock band and enter the upcoming Battle of the Bands competition. However, he needs to do all of this away from the prying eyes of the school’s principal, Rosalie Mullins. Along the way, Dewey finds romance, self-worth, a proper job, and, most importantly, he teaches the children and their parents the beauty of rock!

There’s trouble in River City! When smooth-talking con man Harold Hill arrives in a small, tight-knit town in Iowa, he expects to dupe its residents with his elaborate moneymaking scheme: Despite his complete lack of musical literacy, he will convince everyone that he is a brilliant bandleader and recruit all the boys in town to form a band, pocketing the cash for instruments and uniforms. The problem? Some of the town members, especially the stern librarian, Marian Paroo, donÕt quite buy HaroldÕs story. As Harold struggles to keep his scheme afloat, he also finds himself increasingly attached to the townspeople, who have all experienced a positive change since Harold came to town. Complicating matters even more, Harold is also falling head-over-heels for the beautiful Marian.
