Howard and Rhonda Hawks Mainstage Theatre
All Shook Up
Friday, March 5, 2010 to Saturday, April 3, 2010
All Shook Up is a jukebox musical featuring the music of the clasic rock star Elvis Presley. All Shook Up is not about Elvis, but IS a tribute to his legend and his music. The show mixes a little bit of Shakespeare with a whole lot of The King. Time: the summer of 1955. Place: a small you-never-heard-of-it town somewhere in the Midwest. The story: Natalie, a small town girl with big dreams falls for Chad, a motorcycle-riding stud who rides into town. Chad has just been released from prison and is looking for excitement. He is shocked to learn that the mayor has outlawed excitement: no tight pants, no public necking, and worst of all, no loud music. Chad sets out to “fix” this. Eventually, everyone responds with new attitudes and welcome results, but along the way, as in the Shakespeare comedy Twelfth Night, everyone falls under love’s spell, but with the “wrong” person. As Elvis music fills the theatre, the complications work themselves out and the townspeople sing and dance their way to the “right” person and a happy ending.
Carl Beck directs, with Mary Dew as Stage Manager. The cast includes Adam Abou-Nasr, Sofia Abou-Nasr, Samantha Brown, Bailey Carlson, Jason DeLong, Cathy Hirsch, Steve Krambeck, Austin Learned, Debbie Massey, Allison McDermott, Joe O’Connor, Jake Ozanne, Michael Sewell, Nora Shelton, Theresa Sindelar, Courtney Stein, Rick Tritz, Edward Wayne, David Wierschem, and Julie Rose Zukaitis.

Death Of A Salesman
Friday, February 19, 2010 to Sunday, March 21, 2010
Willy Loman is a traveling salesman whose American Dream of success has been haunted by missed opportunities and an uncertain future. He’s spent 36 years on the road, chasing his dream, but fails in his attempts to get a position which does not require travel. His home life is equally unsatisfactory. He has tried to instill his values in his sons Biff and Happy, but they repeatedly fail to meet his expectations. His long-suffering wife Linda all too often finds herself being a referee as Willy and the boys fight. Ultimately, Willy’s lifetime of self-deception distorts his dream into an American tragedy.
Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is a classic of the American Theatre. The original production in 1949 received a Pulitzer Prize and won six Tony awards. A new production in 1984 won the Tony for Best Revival, and a 1999 production won four Tony awards, including Best Revival.
