The Garden Theatre, which hasn't presented a play since summer, has turned to a homegrown company run by a Central Florida singing star to activate its stage once more.Coming in the new year will be four musicals, beginning with 'Rock of Ages,' a comic show featuring rock songs of the 1980s such as Europe's 'The Final Countdown' and Twisted Sister's 'We're Not Gonna Take It.'The Winter Garden theater stopped production after July's musical 'On Your Feet!' during a mass exodus of leaders and staff amid weeks of public feuding between the board of directors and employees.
