It wouldn’t be summer if the North Fork Community Theatre wasn’t rolling out another spirited Youth on Stage production.

This year, NFCT presents “All Shook Up,” directed by Brett Chizever and produced by Babette Cornine.

“All Shook Up” is a musical comedy built around songs made famous by Elvis Presley. According to a release sent out by NFCT, “The story is based on Shakespeare’s play ‘Twelfth Night’. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl’s dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger helps a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll.”

Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics such as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Love Me Tender,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and “All Shook Up.”

Show dates include today, and tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m., as well as July 30, 31, Aug. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9. All shows are at 8 p.m., except for Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at 631-298-NFCT or www.nfct.com.

Student rush tickets may be purchased for $15 at the box office beginning 10 minutes before each performance. The tickets are subject to availability and cannot be reserved ahead of time.

The North Fork Community Theatre is located at 12700 Sound Ave in Mattituck.
