Thank you BancorpSouth for your Fifth Year as our season sponsor!It's All Happening on Broadway . . . 201 North Broadway that is! Tupelo Community Theatre will hold auditions for
All Shook Up on Monday, Feb 22 and Tuesday, Feb 23 at 7 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre on Broadway in Downtown Tupelo. 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). No advanced preparation is needed but each person auditioning will be expected to sing. 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.
