DCT to Present 'All Shook Up' This Weekend

Dundalk Community Theatre, in residence at The Community College of Baltimore County, Dundalk campus, will present "All Shook Up" this weekend and next.

The new musical, set in the 1950s and based on the music of Elvis Presley, will be held in the John E. Ravekes Theater May 5-6 and 11-13.

While the show is based on Presley's music, it is not a biographical revue, according to theater officials.

The show is set 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 and roll," according to a statement from the theater.

Director Robert Oppel & choreographer Vincent Musgrave’s energetic cast includes Sheriff Earl (Bobby Mahoney of Harve De Grace), Jim (Brian Jacobs of Baltimore), Dean (Jake Stuart of Baltimore),  Lorraine (Joele Atkinson of Baltimore), Henrietta (Lisa Pastella-Young of Parkville), Sylvia (Rikki Howie of Gaithersburg), Mayer Matilda (Mary Elizabeth Mullin of Fallston), Miss Sandra (Rebecca Garrahy), Dennis (Jim Baxter of Ellicott City), Natalie (Logan Burke of Pasadena) and Chad (Chris Zarbargashi of Baltimore).

Featured songs include "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Blue Suede Shoes" and "All Shook Up."

Show times are 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays in the John E. Ravekes Theater in the K Building on the CCBC Dundalk campus.

Individual tickets cost $23 for adults, $20 for senior adults and $15 for students, DCT actors and children 12 and under.
