Director’s Message
Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the transformative power of musicals—the way they transport us to magical worlds, offer a break from everyday life, and move us through story and song. Music has a unique ability to stir emotions, spark change, and bring people together.
In this modern adaptation of “The Music Man”, we witness how one passionate individual, empowered by music, inspires and transforms an entire community.
My journey with School of Rock: The musical began in March 2018 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City. From the very first chord, I was hooked—not just by the infectious energy of the show, but by the incredible talent of the young musicians performing live on stage. Their skill, spirit, and authenticity left a lasting impression.
For the next two and a half hours, I invite you to share in that same joy. Watch as these remarkable young performers bring the power of rock and roll to life, showing us how music can open doors, ignite dreams, and change lives.
A heartfelt thank you to our phenomenal cast and musicians, who have poured their hearts into this production and embodied the spirit of rock with everything they have. To my brilliant artistic and production team—thank you for believing in this vision and helping create a rock concert experience that families can enjoy together. And to my family and friends, your support has made this journey possible—I’m deeply grateful.
So sit back, settle in, and get ready to rock and roll!
Julie Van Duzen
Artistic Director, "School of Rock"

On behalf of Royal City Musical Productions, I want to extend my most sincere thanks for joining us for our spectacular production of "School of Rock!"
Thank You to Our Volunteers
Bringing a show like this to life is a colossal undertaking, and it simply would not be possible without the incredible dedication of our "army of volunteers."

Your passion is the foundation of our success, and the very heart of Royal City Musical Productions.
Celebrating Our Youth and Parents
To the parents who faithfully brought their children to every rehearsal and supported them throughout this journey: your commitment is truly appreciated. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch these young performers grow and flourish throughout the process. Tonight, you will see the immense talent of our local youth on this stage, and we hope you are as proud of their achievements as we are.
Support Community Theatre
It is our mission to continue bringing you high-quality community theatre that showcases local values and extraordinary talent. We rely on the support of our audience to make this happen. Please continue to support local community theatre—it is a vital part of our cultural landscape.
