Through the Rock

The Drama Book Shop presents, in association with Jay Michaels Global Communications,  Through The Rock-  A talkback, signing and live podcast recording.

About the Book 

Through The Rock is the tale of a heavyweight high school wrestler from Iowa who comes to New York to become an actor. As he navigates the treacheries, magic, barbarism, heroism, dark love affairs and occasional beauty of the New York theatre, it changes him……and he changes it.
