An amateur production by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Ltd
The lives of the prim and proper children of Horace Green Prep School are turned upside down when wannabe rocker Dewey Finn poses as a substitute teacher! Having been kicked out of his band and needing to find some money for rent urgently, Dewey thinks this will be an easy route to a quick buck. To his surprise, he finds a group of talented young musicians that may just mean he can go to the Battle of the Bands after all.
This hugely fun musical, based on the film starring Jack Black, of the same name is a feel-good, toe-tapping, head-banging feast!
