Production Details
The musical is an adaptation of the popular 2003 film and revolves around Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher. Fernando Romero plays Finn during the UTEP production. ‘You can expect a lot of amazing music, a lot of fun energy. You’re going to expect a lot of blaring lights and sounds and a lot of very, very talented adults and kids in this amazing production of School of Rock!’ Romero said.
Jaime Barba, the interim director of the UTEP Dinner Theatre, told ABC-7 that the cast and crew have been preparing every weeknight for three hours for the last 10 weeks. ‘The costumes, the sets, the lights, all of that is done here in this theater locally. And I think that’s one thing that people like when they come see our shows, because like I said, we try to do next-to-professional here at UTEP,’ Barba said.
The cast is made up of adults and includes 12 children. ‘Yes. They can act, sing and dance, but several of them play live music on stage. The guitars, the bass player, the keyboardist and the drummer all play their instruments live on stage,’ the interim director said.
The show also features songs from the popular movie with a musical score that’s perfect for pop and rock lovers. For ticket information, click here.
