Yorba Linda Spotlight is proud to present a Future Stars production of Rock Around the Block, playing November 2023 at the Virginia DeLand Theater at the Yorba Linda Cultural Arts Center.
Gracie Stanley has gotten herself into the ultra-sticky jam of a lifetime! She has pledged to deliver her distant cousin, rock star Ziggy Springer, for the high school Hippity Hop. To her dismay, Ziggy’s manager doesn’t want his client performing anywhere without pay. It’s now up to Gracie and her friends to produce a double… or never show their faces in Louise’s Luncheonette again! They plot to have a singing soda jerk perform instead. If it’s dark, maybe no one will be able to tell that it’s really not Ziggy! With the scornful Muffin Mansfield keeping her eyes on Gracie’s every move, it won’t be easy to pull this one off. Loaded with the feel of the era and a fantastic score, you’ll see why we call them the Nifty Fifties!
