The Windham Theatre Guild Hosts Auditions For ALL SHOOK UP 5/19, 5/20

The Windham Theatre Guild will hold Open Auditions for their summer musical production of All Shook Up...a show that mixes a little bit of Shakespeare and a whole lot of The King and guarantees that everyone will be jumpin' out of their blue suede shoes! Set in 1955 in a small mid-western town, this jukebox musical features a riveting tale of mismatched lovers, where one girl's dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed-guitar playing stranger, help a small town discover the magic of romance and the power of rock n' roll. This show is a tribute to the legend of Elvis and his music and uses the songs he made famous to provide insight into the madness of falling in love. Featured are 24 classic Presley hits including "Heartbreak Hotel", "Burning Love", "Jailhouse Rock", "Don't Be Cruel", "It's Now or Never" and "Hound Dog". Chock full of laughs and toe-tapping tunes, "All Shook Up" is a hunk, a hunk of burnin' nostalgia!

WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday & Thursday, May 19th & 20th at 7:00 PM at the Windham Middle School, Quarry Street, Willimantic. Auditions will include vocal, dance, movement and acting. Please prepare a musical number (30 to 40 seconds) for the vocal audition. Bring sheet music. Piano accompaniment will be provided. Readings from the script will be provided that evening. Dress comfortably for the dance/movement activities.
