Get ready to rock and roll at Gorton Center’s movie screening featuring the wildly fun and heartwarming comedy School of Rock! Join us for a high-energy evening as we screen this beloved film starring Jack Black as Dewey Finn, a passionate but down-and-out musician who stumbles into a job as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. When he discovers his students are musically gifted, he hatches a plan to turn them into a secret rock band and enter them into the local Battle of the Bands—without the school or their parents finding out!

As Dewey teaches his students about power chords, stage presence, and the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, both he and the kids go on a journey of self-discovery, confidence-building, and epic guitar solos. Packed with laughs, unforgettable performances, and a killer soundtrack, School of Rock is a feel-good classic that celebrates creativity, teamwork, and the power of music to bring people together. Directed by Richard Linklater, known for his versatile storytelling and character-driven films, School of Rock showcases his unique ability to blend humor, heart, and music into an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or reliving a favorite, School of Rock is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for all ages. Come early, bring your favorite movie snacks, and get ready to rock the night away at Gorton Center!
