Synopsis

Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme…You better get me to school on time!School of Rock is a musical based on the hit movie. The tuner 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. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?

History of Summer Youth Musical

The first performances of Summer Youth Musical (SYM) were at Rider High School.  When W. Erle White deeded the Icehouse over to Backdoor Theatre for its new home it was with the stipulation that the  Summer Youth Musical always have a "home" at Backdoor Theatre.  2017 "13 the Musical" will be the 50th  Summer Youth Musical.

It includes youth ages usually 13-18 and in some cases 15-21 depending on current talent pool and audition turn outs over the years.  Almost anyone who auditions gets to do something- such as acting, learning lights, directing, stage managing, costuming, music, and running the sound system.

The last 4  Summer Youth Musical performances have been "Anything Goes", "Godspell", "Seussical" and
"Bring It On"- others have been "Les Miserables" (youth version), "Back to the 80's", "Pirates of Penzance", Disney's "High School Musical".
