Elvis Presley Trivia Contest starts promptly at 6:30 pm.
Show begins at 7pm with a Meet the Cast Social Hour from 8 - 9 pm.
Come see the play critics hailed as... "creative, talented, hilarious and entertaining, punching up into the crotches of cultural touchstones."
Starring local performers Andrew D. Artley, Paul Gleason, Michael Shaeffer and—from St. Louis Park—Jo Kalla.
Show synopsis: Elvis Presley stirs up trouble at an unscrupulous real-estate agency. Jumpsuits jitter and F-bombs fly as a post-Vegas career suddenly involves the temptations of grand theft and a fever for the rock 'n' roll.
Contains bounteous amounts of adult language and rockabilly music.
