Hope to have All Shook Up cast very soon but.... we are still seeking men for the show. Auditions are open for high school age and older and this is a multi-racial cast. Production dates for the show are May 6, 7, & 8 and June 3 & 6. For more information contact director Tom Booth at 844-1935 or 315-4771 or check the TCT website at www.tct.ms.
With a plot loosely base on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and book by Joe Dipietro, the show is inspired by and features the songs of Elvis Presley. It deals with Smalltown, USA circa 1955 and just as in Shakespeare’s lighthearted comedies everyone falls under love’s spell, but with the “wrong” person. When “a rolling roustabout with a song in his soul and an eye for the ladies” rambles into town on his motorcycle, guitar slung over the leather jacket on his back, everyone eventually responds with new attitudes and welcome results. Add to all that the changing cultural climate of 1950s America and you get
“The best retro rock show since Grease” (NBC)

 efore you can be on stage, you've got
to audition. While TCT has been fortunate to have many people try-out for our plays
over the years, we've also had a few times when the casting committee members have sat, scratching their collective heads, and
wondering if everyone had decided to leave town that week. The point is, we need you!
This isn't professional theatre -- these are your neighbors -- you don't have to prepare (unless the director requires this, in
which case you'll be told what to bring with you). All you need is a desire to be on stage, and you know you have
that. Think about all the times you've attended a play -- not necessarily at the Lyric, but anywhere -- and thought to
yourself, "I could do better than that", or "That looks like fun!" Everyday, we all "act" a part:
we have our "job" personality; we act out our roles as parents, children, and friends; we put on our "best
face" when meeting new people. So, you know you can act, and you know you want to be on stage. Take that next small
step and become a part of Tupelo Community Theatre!
We've included a sample audition form for you. As you can see, the questions aren't hard and, if you really are
hesitating about being in the limelight, try getting your feet wet as a member of the stagecrew. A lot of our best
actors and actresses started backstage. We'll see you at the Lyric! |
