TexARTS is looking for talented young male actors ages 13-18 for an upcoming production of the rockin’ ‘50s musical All Shook Up.
Inspired by Twelfth Night and other Shakespearean comedies and built around songs made famous by Elvis Presley, All Shook Up is a fun jukebox musical comedy. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl’s dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics such as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Love me Tender,” Don’t Be Cruel,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and of course the title tune.All Shook Up rehearses from 10am to 1pm Saturdays beginning immediately and on Fridays from 6 to 8pm on an as needed basis. Performances are February 1-2 and February 8-9. Actors should be prepared to be called for technical and dress rehearsals during the weeks of production.
