Williamstown Musical Theatre Company is seeking applications for an Assistant Costume Designer to work with our Costume Designer Nicole Black for our May 2019 production, Rock of Ages!
Rock of Ages takes you back to the times of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair! 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 Strips last legendary venues. But the rock and 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.
The show features the music of hit bands such as Styx, Poison, Twisted Sister, and Whitesnake among many others. Know What Love Is, Feel the Noise, and Take Your Best Shot captures the iconic era, visiting the larger than life characters and exhilarating story that has turned Rock of Ages into a global phenomenon.
