The last in a 60's trilogy of musically advanced plays by john daniels, jr.
W-ROCKS! is the story of  factious radio station, WRQX, in Anywhere, Texas.  The show begins in late 1969 as an easy listening station changes formats to an on the edge Rock-n-Roll station for the sake of money.  It is the story of the new staff, the owner, his hippy-wanna-be daughter, the engineer (The Professor), and Nick the maintenance man.  Nick has a gift:  he can “see” the music.  We, the audience, can see what Nick sees.  The second act is thirty years later and WRQX is an “oldies” station playing late 60's and early 70's music for money.  The daughter now owns the station.  There is a new on-air staff, but The Professor and Nick are still there.  Nick looses the ability to “see” the music, but by the end, everyone can “see”.

Note:  The rights to the show does not carry the performance rights to "Pedro and the Man at the Drive-Inn"
            by Cheech y Chong.

W-ROCKS! was produced by a community theater using a live band.  W-ROCKS! uses 26 live songs and a series of  air play recordings in the background.
