This year's winter 2019 season also includes two "Give Back" shows with The Can'd Aid Foundation, in
Chicago and NYC, where The Rock and Roll Playhouse will donate an additional dollar of each ticket sold to Can'd Aid's Tunes program - a music initiative that donates instruments to public schools in need.
Recently, The Rock and Roll Playhouse celebrated Halloween with the music of Phish,
Elvis Presley and
Widespread Panic in over 20 cities across the country. Revisit a highlight reel of the 2019 Halloween Spooktacular performances here: https://youtu.be/gtqPOzuuytM
