Sometimes that love can unite people. Sometimes it can be a refuge from a mundane life. Sometimes it can lead to obsession and madness. For the seven characters in Warnock’s Rock the Line, it is all this and more. Rock the Line is a character-driven play about a group of friends united by their love of rock ’n’ roll legend Patti Roxx. Set in front of the club where she’ll be performing, the play shows their interactions, power plays, loves, and losses during the eight hours before Patti’s show…With its rock soundtrack and its strong characters, Rock the Line was a solid finale to the Triple Threat series."
--Byrne Harrison, Off-off-Broadway Review
"I heartily recommend, Kathleen Warnock's play ROCK THE LINE. It seems impossible that there are only seven characters in it, because as they interact like elements in a kaleidoscope, standing in line in a dismal town to get into a rock-show (and at eight o'clock in the morning!!!), they reveal dozens of sides of themselves, and tell you just about all you need to know about the collapse of identity, purpose, and pride in America, and how it results in---well, in people getting in line at eight a.m. in a dismal town to see a rock-show (it could also be to see the latest Star Wars movie or a Stephen Hawking lecture or auditions for a reality show or -- well, you get me).
