Long before he was a member of famed band The Backstreet Boys, Howie Dorough was a middle schooler navigating Lakeview Prep. His enthusiastic parents each want him to do different things with his life, but what does Howie want? Howie just wants to perform with his new school friends in the musical troupe called the Pot Luck Players.
Join Howie and friends on a journey through musical forms and middle school norms as The Rose Theater brings you this brand new show full of vibrant characters and hummable never-before-heard music. Be the first to hear this new original music performed live by Howie D. himself in this special event performance making its debut on The Rose stage!
Member tickets can be purchased by members for $12 (main floor) and $12 (balcony) each.
Non-Member Tickets available for $25 (main floor and balcony) after August 1.
Show tickets are available at Will Call, if not picked up earlier.
Lobby doors will open 45 minutes prior to the show.
Tickets that have not been claimed five minutes prior to the show may be released or sold.
A few minutes after the performance, our actors will conduct a Question & Answer session from the stage. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the scenery, costumes, special effects, and other aspects of the production. The actors may even have a question or two for you about the story.
Some performers will be available after the show to say hello, pose in pictures, and sign their autographs for you. You can meet them on the mezzanine level right outside the entrance to our balcony level seats.
* Please note: Members of the cast of Howie D: Back in the Day will lead the onstage Q&A session and give autographs following the show, but Howie Dorough is not guaranteed to appear at post-show events and activities.

A social story is a tool that helps individuals better understand the world around them so they can plan for a positive experience, even if they are going into an place that is unknown to them. Social stories help individuals know what to expect and what to do in unfamiliar situations by walking them through the experience. They are often used by individuals on the autism spectrum, children with sensory needs or those with other special needs. They can be very helpful for very young children anticipating their first theatrical experience. The Rose’s social stories feature photos of all areas of the theater to help children of all abilities with a step-by-step explanation of what it is like to visit The Rose, as well as answering questions they may have.
