The Circuit Playhouse, in partnership with Sue and Frank Guarino and super sponsor Dr. Thomas Ratliff, present the Regional Premiere of what David Friscic - DC Metro, calls “a disarming theatrical cornucopia of camp,” by playwright Matthew Lopez (The Whipping Man).

He’s young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he’s just found out his wife is going to have a baby. To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business — and himself.

Performances will run Thursday - Saturday 8:00 pm curtain and with 2:00 pm curtain on Sunday. For tickets, call the Box Office at (901) 726-4656 or visit our website www.playhouseonthesquare.org. Follow with social media using #McBrideMemphis. Group rates available.

Special ticket pricing for opening weekend $25. Pay What You Can performance, sponsored by Arts First and the First Tennessee Foundation is June 13th.
