Break a Leg! But... Not Actually | Rock Falls High School's Presents Play On!

Season 2, Episode 156

On this episode of Along the Rock, hosts Emma Watts and Quinn Stahr pull back the curtain on Rock Falls High School’s fall production — Play On! by Rick Abbot — a hilarious play within a play where everything that can go wrong… definitely does!

Joining them are cast members Ale Cid, Pablo Cid, Aaliyah White, and Jake Andrzejewski to talk about the chaos of rehearsals, the comedy of on-stage “mistakes,” and what it’s like performing in a meta show that’s all about putting on a show.

From sandbags left on stage to perfectly timed improv moments, this cast thrives on laughter, quick thinking, and pure theater magic — and you’ll love every second of it!
