All Shook Up the Musical July 13th 2018 7:30 Pm show The Lamp Theater Irwin Pa Presented by The Lamp Theater This evening I was given access to take photos for The Lamp Theatre in Irwin, PA. The Lamp Theatre originally opened in 1937 and closed it doors in 2004 after more than seven decades of operation. A project was launched to revive the theater, grants were obtained, and then a huge set-back came in 2009 when the Irwin Hotel caught fire with flames spreading to the theater. Following the re-grouping of supporters, the extension of grant deadlines, and massive construction; the theater had a grand re-opening in 2016 under the ownership of the Borough and the operation of the non-profit Lamp Theatre Corporation.
The current production of the Lamp Theatre Players is the musical "All Shook Up" which is inspired by and features the songs of Elvis Presley. The story is based on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The year is 1955 and a young man with the moves and music of Elvis rides into a backwoods town in a backwoods state. You'll hear such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.” A huge thanks goes out to their General manager, Dani Haggerson, for granting me access to this amazing show. This is the third show I have covered at The Lamp Theatre, and with every visit I am more and more impressed both by the shows they put on and by the friendliness of the staff and volunteers. They have always made made me feel welcome. Tonight's show was no exception and proves that you don't need to go very far in this area to experience a night with a talented cast putting on a great show. This production features two casts, each performing separate shows, so for more fun you can see it twice.
