And the 2019 Winter Musical is ... All Shook Up!

This play is based on Shakespeare's Fifth Night but is rooted in the rock 'n' roll genre of 1950's America. This high-energy musical portrays what happens to a sleepy Midwestern town when a motorcycle-riding, guitar-playing rebel comes in and, well, shakes things up. The story weaves together lots of hilarious moments with many of Elvis Presley's greatest hits. In a square little town in a square little state, rides a guitar playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets in this hip-swiveling, lip curling musical fantasy that'll have you jumpin' out of your blue suede shoes.

All Shook Up performances will be at 7:00pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Satirday, January 23rd through January 26th. Tickets are on sale during all lunch hours in the main office now until Friday, January 25th, and will be $10 for adults and $7 for students.
