Rock of Ages at Garden Theatre

Rock ‘n’ roll is loud. It’s dangerous. It’s dirty. It doesn’t care about your opinion or need your acceptance. It can’t be contained or tempered. Yet, at its core, rock ‘n’ roll is pure love…

It is a driving force that is constantly reshaping our culture. It inspires good and ignites our passions in a way no other art form has achieved. As you can tell…. I’m a fan.

ROCK OF AGES, somehow, lives as the true embodiment of all that rock ‘n’ roll stands for. I have watched this show create families, heal wounds, and make dreams come true. I couldn’t be more excited to come home and share this thing that I love so deeply. So sit back, relax, and prepare to have your face melted….

For Nick.

Justin Matthew Sargent Director
