[NEohioPAL] Auditions this weekend-All Shook Up

[Emma Figge]

French Creek Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for…

“All Shook Up”

By Joe DiPietro  with music from the Elvis Presley songbook

Directed and Choreographed by Emma Figge

Music Directed by Eileen Moore

The music of Elvis comes alive in All Shook Up. Inspired by Shakespeare’s
Twelfth Night, All Shook Up follows a small Midwestern town that is thrown
into a frenzy with the arrival of Chad, a good-looking, motorcycle-riding
roustabout, who rides from town to town with a guitar on his back, blue
suede shoes on his feet, and a song in his heart. Repressed by their
conservative mayor, the town begins to come alive once more under Chad’s
influence. Lovers meet, woo, pursue, and more, all in one zany night that
will change the town forever. All Shook Up is a rocking, heartwarming tale
about following dreams, opening up to love, and the power of music.
