Shooting Star: A Rock and Roll Journey Through Cancer

When a railroad worker is diagnosed with cancer, he, his wife, and his best friend face the fight ahead with grit, humor, and the soundtrack of classic rock & roll. Shooting Star: A Rock and Roll Journey Through Cancer is a powerful new play with music. Written by Joe Salazar, the play blends laughter, love, and loss into a deeply human story about resilience, friendship, and finding joy even in life’s hardest moments. Funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically real, Shooting Star celebrates the healing power of music and the strength of the human spirit.

With Joe Salazar, Tamara Downs, Matthew Weinberg, and Brandy Lamkin.
