Audition Registration

TSP is now casting for all types, shapes, and ethnic backgrounds for "ROCK OF AGES Youth Edition"

Set on L.A.'s famous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages tells the story of Drew, a city boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, who have both travelled to L.A. to chase their dreams of making it big and falling in love. This classic love story is set against the troubles at the Dupree Room, a “legendary temple of rock 'n' roll excellence” under threat by developers of being torn down and replaced with a strip mall. The threats of closure bring legendary rocker Stacee Jaxx to town, and an opportunity for Drew to chase his dream to rock out with the best.

Trouble brews as Drew abandons Sherrie for his dream of stardom, rock 'n' roll bad boy Stacee lures Sherrie away, and the Dupree Room is surrendered to developers. Can Drew and Sherrie rescue their love? And can the Dupree Room be saved before it's too late?

TSP is casting 6th-9th graders for this professional training production.

LONNY BARNETT - Our omnipotent narrator! He/she is a charming and funny guy/girl who gets along with everyone. Great voice and sense of humor!(Range: Ab2 - Eb4)

DENNIS DUPREE - the owner of The Bourbon Room. He’s a bit older than the others and a little burnt out on the party scene. They have a big presence, strong acting skills and a good voice. Dennis pairs flawlessly with Lonny. (Range: Gb2 - E4)

DREW BOLEY - “just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit” who moved to L.A. to rock. Unfortunately, every rocker has to do his time, so Drew barbacks just to make rent. While the music and setting of the show is pre-1980s, Drew is a classic musical theatre archetype – the nice guy with big dreams. Seeking an experienced actor with a solid tenor voice who can convey both a sweet, charming quality and fit the bill as a rocker. (Range: G2 - Eb4)

SHERRIE CHRISTIAN - Like Drew, she is a musical theatre archetype – a sweet, small-town girl moves to the city to pursue a brighter future. She hopes to get her break in the acting business despite her parents’ obvious disapproval. Seeking an actor with a strong voice and solid acting skills. She should also pair well with Drew. (Range: G3 - Eb5)

MOTHER - more nurturing and sympathetic. Seeking an actress that can potray maturity, warmth and a great singing voice. (Range: G3 - F#4)
