Overview

The King is dead, but his voice lives on. Presented by SPARC Theatre, an ensemble made up of adults living in unstable housing around the City of Port Phillip, Are You Lonesome Tonight? mixes songs with personal stories about loneliness and love in a show inspired by the music of the one and only Elvis Presley.

This unique show will run for just three nights, starting Friday, November 20, at St Kilda's Greyhound Hotel. With more than a touch of Vegas cabaret glamour, members of the company will draw on personal history throughout the performance, showcasing their diverse range of experiences and talents.

According to artistic director Katie Lockett, SPARC helps to "celebrate and give voice to people who are not often seen or heard...connecting our ensemble to their community, and allowing their creativity to shine".
