EPIC Junior is a theatre program that opens the stage to all types of artists and seeks to shine a light on neuro-diverse talent from ages 12-17. We believe our differences are our strengths. And that a more open stage connects artists and audiences to more representation, more inspiration, and more opportunities.
School of Rock, composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is an adaptation of the 2003 film of the same title, originally scripted by Mike White.
Dewey Finn, a financially strained rock vocalist and guitarist secures a position as a substitute teacher at an elite preparatory school under a false identity. Upon recognizing the musical aptitude of his fifth-grade pupils, he proceeds to organize them into a musical ensemble to win the impending Battle of the Bands competition.
