"All Shook Up" at the Cumberland Playhouse

All Shook Up is a swinging fifties juke box musical, featuring the songs of “The King”—Elvis himself. Somewhere in smalltown America, a guitar-playing traveler named Chad rides his motorcycle into a square little town where fun has somehow been outlawed—and with the help of the local young folks, he shakes the place up, wakes it up! Singin’, dancin’, romance and fun fill the town square, and even put a smile on the faces of the older generation.
The show features over two dozen Elvis hits, from Heartbreak Hotel and Don’t Be Cruel, to Can’t Help Falling in Love. Grab your poodle skirt and jeans, and join the fun!

Area hotels and Bed & Breakfast Inns offer the full vacation experience of food service, room service and more to get travelers out of their homes without having to travel far to enjoy themselves.

With the rise of fuel costs, many Americans are opting to utilize tourist options in their city or town of residence during their vacation. This vacation and travel option has come to be known as "Staycation."

Staycations tend to be more cost-effective than traditional travel options, as the amount of gas and travel money spent will be significantly lower than they would be if the travel distance was further away.
