Exploring the myths and legends of the classic rock era through a combination of live original songs, animation and video projection, Rock & Roll Rehab is a colorful, unique and comedic journey through the often unbelievable times of a bygone era. Written and directed by Neal Warner, a former animator and director for Disney, the production is anchored by L.A.-based band, The Tooners, whose high-energy songs are the backdrop for the rock "meeting." Star Gregory Piper provides the testimonial for the satirical self-help group, using animated music videos and projection illustrations to make his persuasive points. For those wanting to relive their hard-rockin' past or others curious about crazy days and loud nights, Rock & Roll Rehab is the prescription for fun. Learn More

The play was, albeit silly, very funny and clever. All of the actors were great and we were surprised there weren't more people in the audience! That didn't stop the actors from giving 100% though. It was an enjoyable show!!Written on Sep 19 2009

The idea of telling this story through Toto's eyes seems valid, but at the end of the play I wasn't sure on what the point of the whole endeavor was. I also felt the cast and director tended to confuse comedy with shouting and most of the play was performed at a decibel more suitable for a stadium than for a tiny theatre. The actor playing Toto was very very good and I appreciated his underplaying.Written on Sep 18 2009

I'm a Wizard of Oz fanatic, and this play was just superb. The actors were all well cast, not a bad one in the bunch. Especially liked the Munchkins, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion. The story is told from Toto's perspective, and there are many surprises. The scenic design was amazing, so much was able to be done in a small area. I loved it so much I not only recommended it to family, friends and co-workers (they know my love of Wiz of Oz), but I have already arranged to see it again. This is definitely a must see, laughs are abundant and you won't go home disappointed!!Written on Jul 27 2009

World Premiere
By Amy Heidish

The Ark Theatre Company at the Hayworth and Playwrights 6 each continue the celebration of their 10th Anniversary season with a joint production of Amy Heidish's new full-length play, Say Goodbye, Toto.

While tangling with cats, witches, wizards, and Munchkins, Toto learns about the true meaning of love in Heidish's whimsical world premiere.
