The Arts Center of Cannon County kicks off their production of the Hair Band era based musical Rock Of Ages tonight. It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and more freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues, a place where Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and shows concert goers Nothin but a good time Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star and venue janitor Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip–and themselves–before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer. Performances of Rock Of Ages run August 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 & 27 at 7:30pm
and August 14 & 21 at 2:00pm. For more information call the box office at 615-563-2787 or check out the website at artscenterofcc.com.
