School of Rock is coming to historic South NJ theater

Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “School of Rock” is coming to the historic Ritz Theatre Company in Haddon on May 12-28.

Theatergoers have a chance to win a kid-size Mitchell MM100 Mini Double Cutaway Electric Guitar, autographed by the entire cast. Raffle tickets ($5) will be sold before each performance and during intermission. This baby axe is furnished by Guitar Center of East Brunswick.

The winning entry will be drawn at the closing performance on Sunday, May 28. All proceeds from the raffle will go towards Ritz Theatre Company’s Stage Starz program, which trains kids of all ages in the performing arts.

Based on the hit movie, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “School of Rock" follows 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 he turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band."

Each season, the Ritz presents seven mainstage productions and eight Ritz Kidz children’s shows, plus summer camp, youth productions, and festivals. The Ritz serves more than 30,000 patrons each year. Learn more: RitzTheatreCo.org.

Tickets for “School of Rock” are $27-$47 and are available here.
