Chelsea Sunrise

Dusty is a Toronto kid who loves the music of the 1960โ€™s British Invasion โ€“ so much so that he models himself and his band, The Cocksure Lads, after it. But his dreams of stardom are tested by the real world as he is forced to confront his ideas of love, loyalty, and authenticity. Originally developed as part of the 2017 Canadian Music Theatre Project at Sheridan College.
