📣OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!📣

🎸🎙This summer Fairmont Area Community Theater will be performing All Shook Up for Adult theater. This jukebox musical features the music of 🕺Elvis Presley and is loosely based on 💀Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. When a roustabout in a leather jacket comes to town on his 🏍motorbike he shakes up this small town and teaches them how to dance in their blue suede shoes, how to rock the jailhouse, and how to find 🔥burnin' love!

🎩🍫Youth Theater will perform Roald Dahl's W***y Wonka Jr.! Will you find a 🎫golden ticket to Mr. Wonka's mistifying chocolate factory with Charlie Bucket or will the Oompa Loompas roll you out of the theater because you ate an unfinished recipe for magic bubble gum and turned into a 🫐giant blueberry?

⏰But when are auditions and the shows you ask?
📅Show dates and Audition dates will be announced soon so keep an eye out on our social media and our website.
