“The angular set, adorned with a decoupage of concert posters and metal scaffolding, seamlessly integrated Abi Farnsworth’s effective lighting design….it’s definitely something I would watch again…easy for me to recommend Timber Lake's latest to anyone who may or may not have seen Rock of Ages before. If you have the chance, don’t miss this nostalgic look at a bygone era.” — Alexander Richardson, River Cities’ Reader
“While vacationing with my family in rural Illinois, I had the unexpected pleasure of attending Rock of Ages at Timber Lake Playhouse in Mt. Carroll. This isn’t an official statement on behalf of Sony, but rather a personal note from someone who sees a lot of talent professionally—and knows when something exceptional is happening, even in unexpected places. What I saw on that stage genuinely impressed me … What really caught me off guard? This kind of performance—so polished and electric—coming out of such a budget-friendly small-town venue. I went in with no expectations and walked out convinced Timber Lake is punching way above its weight. If you are within driving distance, go see it. And if you’re in the media, they deserve a little spotlight.” — Rob Santos, Vice President, A&R (Sony Entertainment)
