Elizabeth’s Mon River Arts recently announced upcoming events.

“All Shook Up” - June 22-26

Mon River Arts will present “All Shook Up” from June 22-26, inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley. This is a production by our high school drama troupe Stagemasters.

It's 1955, and into a square, little town in a square, little state rides a guitar-playing roustabout who changes everything and everyone he meets in this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy that'll have you jumpin' out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as "Heartbreak Hotel," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Don't Be Cruel."

Shows are June 23, 24, 25 at 7:30 p.m. and June 26 at 2 p.m. A special Pay What You Can Night will be held on Wednesday June 22nd at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10. Reservations may be made by calling the Mon River Arts box office at 412-405-8425 or emailing MRAboxoffice@gmail.com. All shows are at the Grand Theatre, 207 S. 2nd Avenue in Elizabeth Borough.
