Taproot Theatre’s Road Company presents a free public performance of its touring show Rocks! by Melanie Godsey on Saturday, June 7 at 9:30 AM. Kicking off the 13th annual PhinneyWood Pride Rainbow Hop, this performance takes place at Taproot Theatre’s Issac Studio Theatre.
Rocks! is a play about bullying prevention, how to be an upstander, celebrating differences, and empathy. S’mores, stargazing, swimming; Jamie’s family promises him that Camp Obsidian is a hidden gem. When he makes friends with Casey on the first day, he knows this camp could rock. But when Casey’s jealousy spreads like poison ivy, Jamie gets caught between a rock and a hard place. Is Jamie really being bullied? Or is it all a harmless prank? The other campers and Jasper, the down-to-earth counselor, will leave no stone unturned to make it the best summer ever.
