GRACELAND and ASLEEP ON THE WIND to be Presented at Shelton State Fine Arts
Performances will run April 16-19.
Shelton State Fine Arts will present two one act plays "Graceland" and "Asleep on the Wind" April 16-19, in the Alabama Power Recital Hall on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College.
In "Graceland," Rootie faces off with Bev, a fellow Elvis fan, in a poignant and humorous competition to be the first to tour the King's mansion. Audiences are then transported back in time for "Asleep on the Wind," in which a young Rootie shares a heartfelt moment with her brother, Beau. His wisdom and stories help shape her future. Together, these complementary, one-act plays explore love, loss, and the surprising bonds that tie us together.
Returning to the Shelton State Fine Arts stage is Averie Bonneville as "Bev" and LaVorius McCruter as Beau. Joining them is newcomer Ella Perkins as Rootie. Joining in the understudy cast is previous Theatre Tuscaloosa performer Shenika Williams as "Bev" and newcomer Joseph Hardin as "Beau." Averie Bonneville will understudy as "Rootie" in "Asleep on the Wind."
"This is my first show as Shelton State's Theatre Program Coordinator, and I am beyond ecstatic," Director Molly Page said. "This group of actors are outstanding, and I am thrilled to showcase Shelton State's immense talent."
Page is joined by a Production Team including: Ashlyn Lambert, Stage Manager and Jeanette Waterman, Costume Designer.
Performance dates are as follows: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 16-18, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday April 19, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The 2 p.m. performance on Saturday, April 19, will feature the understudy cast. "Graceland" and "Asleep on the Wind" will be presented in the Alabama Power Recital Hall on the Martin Campus of Shelton State.
