Hips were shaking and hearts were breaking in the Patriot Players’ fabulous performance of All Shook Up!

The 1950’s tale takes place in a small town with strict rules banning self-expression through music. In the center is the town sweetheart, Natalie, played by senior Lizzie Legregin.

A young mechanic with dreams of falling in love, Natalie quickly becomes entranced with newcomer Chad (senior Sam Gomez), a young biker with dreams of “shaking things up” for the dreary little town. Unfortunately for Natalie though, a complicated love triangle soon ensues when Chad is exposed to the eccentric ways of the sassy museum owner Miss Sandra (senior Caitlyn Haley).

Through the upbeat tone of popular Elvis songs, the characters are taken on an epic adventure filled with love, loss, and learning to stay true to oneself.

Other members of the truly talented cast include, freshman Danny Scerbo (Dennis), junior Joe Santitioro (Jim), senior Imani Deangelo- Cobbs (Sylvia), sophomore Nina Mojares (Lorraine), sophomore Joe Hoover (Dean), junior Maggie Barilka (Mayor Matilda), and senior Sam Reed (Sheriff Earl).

Congratulations to all the members of the cast and crew for putting on yet another amazing show!
