Rock of Ages
2025-07-26 14:00 - 16:30, 2025-07-26 19:00 - 21:30, 2025-07-27 14:00 - 16:30 | Carroll Community College Scott Theatre, 1601 Washington Rd, Westminster, MD, 21157, United States
It’s the waning days of the wild 1980s in Hollywood, where the party scene is still going strong. At one of the Sunset Strip’s final iconic rock venues, big hair, tight clothes, and heavy drinking are the norm, and rock god Stacee Jaxx rules the stage while eager groupies chase their dreams. In the middle of the chaos, Drew—a janitor with big ambitions—dreams of becoming a rock star, and falls for Sherri, a small-town girl who’s just arrived from Kansas with dreams of fame. But the glitz is threatened when a group of German developers arrive with plans to bulldoze the Strip’s legacy and replace it with corporate sprawl. Can Drew, Sherri, and their misfit crew save the music, the club, and their dreams before it all disappears? The answer lies in the anthems of rock legends like Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and more.

Mr. Hurwitz was a waist gunner and radio man on a B-17 that flew bombing missions over Europe.
