The new play "Graceland Too: The Building Elvis Never Left" is led by Memphis creative team including Playwright and Producer Nicole Hughes, Director Maxx Reed and Music Director & Composer Matt Wood for the upcoming Equity-Approved Showcase Production at the New York Theater Festival.
The Festival performances are on May 2nd, May 6th, & May 8th, 2022 at the New York Theater Festival, Theater Latea, 107 Suffolk St, New York, NY. More information and tickets available at the New York Theater Festival website here.

Inspired by the true story of Paul MacLeod and his Elvis home museum, this new play highlights the Holly Springs, Mississippi tourist attraction "Graceland Too" and dives into the mystery surrounding its tragic end. A Deep South folklore story, Graceland Too brings to life southern traditions, blues music, and what it means to live in the shadows of the enormous fame of Elvis culture.
