THE EXPERIENCE
Those who can’t do, teach. And those who can’t teach, screen School of Rock. Grab the whole family and join us for a screening of the Jack Black + Richard Linklater classic. Alumni from Portland’s own School of Rock will perform a short set of cover songs from the film before the screening.
ON SCREEN: School of Rock
2003. Directed by Richard Linklater. Runtime: 110 minutes. Rated PG-13.
Jack Black stars as a hell-raising guitarist with delusions of grandeur. Kicked out of his band and desperate for work, he impersonates a substitute teacher and turns a class of fifth grade high-achievers into high-voltage rock and rollers. Joan Cusack portrays the principal of the private school where Black is prepping the kids for a Battle of the Bands.
ON STAGE: School of Rock House Band
