School of Rock (Lloyd Webber) - February 13 - February 15, 2026
Honesdale High School
DIRECTOR'S NOTES
Dear Friends of the Theater,
Welcome to our 67th Annual Theatrical Season at Honesdale High School's Performing Arts Center, with our Honesdale High School musical production of School of Rock by Andrew Lloyd Webber!
School of Rock the musical is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning smash musical based on the hilarious hit movie starring Jack Black. The film of the same title, School of Rock will feature music from the movie, as well as an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Glenn Slater, with a book by Julian Fellowes and direction by Laurence Connor (Broadway Les Miserables).
The musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by the production’s young actors every night with roof-raising energy!
Originally premiering on Broadway before transferring to London’s West End as well as various tours including US and UK tours, School of Rock means school is back in – forever!
Andrew Lloyd Webber's School of Rock The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatrical and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Entertainment (formerly Really Useful Group) in the United Kingdom.
We are grateful for our board of directors, administrators, teachers, students, parents, production assistants, stage crew members, community, Friends of Honesdale Performing Arts Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and the generous support of our Season Sponsorships. We hope that you will patronize these businesses in show of your support as they have supported the arts in our community!
The spirit of collaboration has always been a hallmark of Honesdale. We believe, with our board of directors, that the Wayne Highlands School District is proud of our success in the area of the three “A’s” Academics, Arts, and Athletics. Education is a lifelong endeavor. The arts provide opportunities to use valuable critical thinking skills and explore diverse perspectives. For over sixty-seven years, Honesdale High School Performing Arts have helped define our community both on stage and off.
Thank you for your attendance and support at this performance. Now, sit back, relax, and get ready, as we bring the best of Broadway to you through our student musical productions. Patrons like you make our presentations possible when the lights go down and the curtain goes up.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Scott D. Miller
Executive Director
