Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock, a nonprofit founded by the famous Valley rockstar, will open a music-based teen center in Goodyear.

The center will be the third location in the Valley, but the first in Goodyear.

“I am thrilled to have Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Center join the Goodyear community,” said Mayor Joe Pizzillo in a statement. “It’s so unique and something that’s really needed in our city to give teens a safe, fun place to learn and express themselves through the arts.”

The Rock Teen Center works with teens and young adults aged 12 to 20 to grow through music, dance and art. The center will also offer free vocational training in sound, recording, lighting, staging and video production. 

“As an aspiring teenage entertainer that grew up in the West Valley with big rock and roll dreams, we are beyond excited to have our third teen center in Goodyear,” said Alice Cooper in a statement. “With the support of the local community, more teens will have a safe space to spend their time, and they can also pursue their dreams with free high quality music, art and dance lessons. Sheryl and I look forward to joining teens in the recording studio, being on stage with teens and in the dance studio at the Goodyear teen center. Thank you to everyone in Goodyear for supporting teens and Solid Rock Teen Centers!”

According to Goodyear, the location will be in the footprint of the previous Goodyear library on Van Buren and Litchfield Road.
