Beck Center for the Arts is pleased to present the locally produced premiere of Green Day's American Idiot, July 10 through August 16, 2015 on the Mackey Main Stage. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are now on sale. Beck Center has established a PG-13 rating for this piece.

In the wake of Green Day's 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Beck Center for the Arts is thrilled to rock out with American Idiot this summer. Originally released in 2004 as Green Day's seventh studio recording, this project went on to win "Best Rock Album" at the 2005 Grammy Awards®. By 2010, the music was brought to life on Broadway where it received two Tony Awards® and the "Best Musical Show Album" Grammy®. The story follows three friends as they search for true meaning in a post 9/11 world. Praised as "a groundbreaking musical knockout" by Rolling Stone, this energy fueled rock opera boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before.

Tickets are $29 for adults, $26 for seniors (65 and older), and $12 for students with a valid I.D. A $3 service fee per ticket will be applied at time of purchase. Group discounts are available for parties of four or more. Purchase tickets online at beckcenter.org<http://beckcenter.org/> or call Customer Service at 216.521.2540 x10. Beck Center for the Arts is located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, just ten minutes west of downtown Cleveland. Free onsite parking is available.
