Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis Has Left the Building

Elvis is hot, and his manager, The Colonel, knows it. But Elvis has not only left the building, he's disappeared. The Colonel is desperate to pay off a debt and fulfill a contract, so he gets creative in finding a replacement impersonator in the 24 hours before the show. Hi-jinx and hilarity ensue in V. Cate and Duke Ernsberger's play that stretches the imagination and keeps the audience guessing and laughing all the way through. The play features actors Jawn Gross, Sue Hansen, Sean Whaling, Sean Morgan, and Lara Schaaf, under the direction Jeff Rodland, assisted by Almitra Clerkin. – Mary Birdsong
