The American Cancer Society “Relay for Life” F ALL SHOOK UP Opens at Actors Caberet of Eugene Friday, June 29. You know, I’m sick of all those tales where lonely boys in square towns dream of getting out, and then righteous rock and roll stars (all women, of course) rescue them and take them to new and exciting places. You are too? Well then, hit up ACE’s new hot-from-Broadway musical, one combining Elvis’ music and a story by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) of a lonely girl rescued by a hot young male rock star. What will they think of next? Show dates are June 29 & 30, July 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 & 21 at ACE and July 26-28 at the Hult. Call 683-4368 for tix to ACE and 682-5000 for the Hult.
