The Carroll Players is the first active student theater organization in Wisconsin, founded in 1896 when professor May Nickell Rankin directed a group of students in a production of Richelieu as part of Commencement weekend activities. The group furthers the artistic, academic and educational concerns of the Theatre Arts program, recognizes outstanding alumni and encourages fellowship and growth among members through social and educational activities.

I DON'T WANNA SLEEP, I JUST WANNA KEEP ON LOVIN' YOU! ✨

Of course we have to highlight REO SPEEDWAGON, one of the bands with music featured in ROCK OF AGES and pioneers in the 80's ballad scene!

KEEP ON LOVIN' YOU, sung by Hertz (Ryan Vanevenhoven) is featured on their breakout album, "Hi Infidelity" which PERFECTLY blends arena rock, and the emotional power ballad genres. Another one of their hits came later, I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING! This is also featured in ROCK OF AGES, sung beautifully by Lonny (Brady Dunham) and Dennis (Caleb Reynolds) who are sure to take your breath away.

Other hits you may know from REO include TOUGH GUYS and TAKE IT ON THE RUN!

Want to see these ridiculously talented actors take on these hard-hitting ballads? Get your tickets to ROCK OF AGES NOW at carroll-players.com 🤘
