School of Rock

Location: The Auditorium, The Fire Station

Date: 9th – 10th April 2026

Get ready to stick it to the man, because hit musical School of Rock is coming to Sunderland.

Presented by Arts North Studios Academy, School of Rock is the global hit musical based on the iconic movie starring Jack Black. Wannabe rock star Dewey Finn is cast out by his dive‐bar bandmates and finds himself in desperate need of cash.

Posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite prep school, he exposes his students to the rock gods he idolises, transforming them into a mind‐blowing rock band.

Catch the Arts North Studios stars of tomorrow today and let’s rock out The Fire Station.

Rock of Ages

Location: The Fire Station

Date: 29th – 30th May 2026

Following their successful smash hit production of Footloose, Arts North Studios College are back with the high-energy, hair-raising hit Rock Of Ages.

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality.

Aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall.

With an incredible soundtrack featuring hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more, catch the stars of tomorrow today as Arts North Studios College deliver their next stunning production at The Fire Station.
