Tim Armstrong (of Rancid, Operation Ivy, Transplants) has announced his creation of a new and original series entitled “Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater.” The debut episode will premier on VEVO on October 21st, 2011.

“Doing a show centered on musical theatre isn’t really a stretch for me,” says Armstrong. “For 25 years I’ve been making music and collaborating with friends, been involved in hundreds of videos, and it’s really just a direct extension of my world.

The pilot episode of “Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater” (entitled “Dante”) will bring the 14th Century epic poem, Dante’s Inferno, placed in the 21th Century. The episode stars AFI frontman Davey Havok, guitarist and vocalist Lars Frederiksen of Rancid, and actor Robert David Hall known for his extensive work on “CSI.”

The trailer is below; honestly, this might be worth the price of admission just to hear Tim Armstrong narrate.
