IN OCTOBER, Harlow Amateur Theatre Society (HATS) are set to put on Rock of Ages.

They are coming down from the intimate surroundings of Theatre 2 and into the main auditorium.

That is quite an ambitious step for the theatre company but we are confident that they will pull it off.

As part of our promotion, we sat down with four of the cast members, who are also teachers.

We wondered how they use their skills at school and transfer them onto the big stage.

Abbie Martin: Stewards Academy

Ella Brady: Burnt Mill

Phil Watson: Mark Hall Academy

Ben Paddon: Passmores Academy

Rock of Ages: Plot: Set in the late 1980’s, California;”. Sherrie, a small town girl, heads to the bright lights of LA to pursue her dreams of acting stardom. She meets Drew, a bartender at the legendary Bourbon Room, who has dreams to be a rock star.

Developers have come to LA, with the idea of bulldozing the Strip, much to the disgust of Dennis (the Bourbon’s owner) and Lonny (the resident sound engineer and narrator of the show). They meet resistance from Regina (the Mayor’s former planning officer) who wants the strip to remain.
