San Diego Musical Theatre, the only year-round musical theatre nonprofit organization in San Diego, today announced the launch of an urgent fundraising campaign, “The Show Must Go On!,” aiming to raise $100,000 by June 30 to sustain its upcoming production of Rock of Ages.

San Diego Musical Theatre, in its third production of the season, pulled through; earlier this year, funding seemed uncertain, but Rock of Ages made it to the stage in time and did it!

I think there is absolutely nothing unoriginal about this project. Created by Tyler Tafolla, who did it all, book, lyrics, music, and is directing the piece, which in 2018, had a showcase of some of the songs written for the musical, and only one made it into the final version. Last year, there was a staged reading at the City Heights Performance Annex. But truly, it took Tafolla 10 years to bring “Dead Moose” to full production.
