The weekend of April 19–22, 2012 brings the stage production “When Elvis Came to Town" to the Old Courthouse Heritage Museum for a second run. Tickets go on sale Feb. 27, 2012 for this original play/musical, staged in the historic courtroom where Elvis filmed the climactic scene in the movie “Follow That Dream.” 

“When Elvis Came to Town” brings to life the magical six weeks when Elvis came to Citrus County. The play is based on hours of taped interviews and reminiscences with movie cast members, extras, and townspeople. People have shared wonderful memories of “how it was” that summer—stories of high comedy, wishes and dreams, and yes, romance. The production features local talent, including award-winning Ted Torres, a nationally known Elvis Tribute Artist. “I never thought I’d be privileged to play the real man, the young Elvis Presley, not just singing his songs but actually stepping into his life,” said Torres about his role in the play. 

The play will open Friday, April 20, with the first performance at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 21st matinee at 2:00 p.m., Saturday evening performance at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon matinee at 2:00 p.m.
