Elvis-Inspired Dance Theater This Weekend at The Elks Lodge

Austin choreographer Allison Orr and her company Forklift Danceworks bring a whole new spin to The King this weekend with their production “The King and I.” The play is loosely structured on Elvis’ last performance and incorporates thematic elements that Orr sees as being relevant to us all: loss, longing, fortune, etc. A trip to Graceland inspired the production. Says Orr, “When I visited Graceland many years ago I found myself crying at the end of tour. Ever since then, I knew I had to make a dance about the King,”

The show is being staged this weekend only at the Elks Lodge, just off of Barton Springs. Shows are at 7:30pm and 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday nights. Tickets are $10 and $20 in advance, or can be purchased at the door for $15 and $25.
