Its stage has hosted performances from some of the most iconic and talented figures in rock and roll history, and on September 8th, one of the horror genre's biggest rock stars, Robert Englund, will take the stage at the Whisky A Go-Go to perform a live reading of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors along with fellow co-star Heather Langenkamp and members of the Dream Warriors themselves: Ira Heiden, Rodney Eastman, Bradley Gregg, and Penelope Sudrow.
A fundraiser for Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, the live stage reading of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors will take place on Sunday, September 8th at 1:00pm. In addition to the aforementioned performers, special guests will also include other Nightmare on Elm Street alumni, including Brooke Bundy, Amanda Wyss, Tuesday Knight, Brooke Theiss, Steven Caffrey, Bill Allen, Byron Thames, and director Chuck Russell.
This sounds like a truly unique experience for A Nightmare on Elm Street fans, and it's benefitting a great cause to boot. Plus, the live stage reading will take place in the same historic venue where Dokken has played, which is perfect for those of us who still find themselves singing "Dream Warriors" from the Back for the Attack album.
