October will see the Port Ludlow Village Players dramatizing the legacy of an American icon, by presenting “All The King’s Women,” by Luigi Jannuzzi.

The Bay Club at 120 Spinnaker Place in Port Ludlow will be hosting this comedic tribute to Elvis Presley’s era and influence, told through the eyes of women whose lives were affected by “The King,” from Oct. 17-19 and Oct. 24-26.

Ruth Gribbin-Schmitt, spokesperson for the Ludlow Village Players, noted that Presley sold more than 500 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling solo musical artists of all time, and he also starred in 31 feature films and two concert documentaries.

“Not everyone was ready for the swivel,” Gribbin-Schmitt said. “His early TV appearances drew heavy backlash from media censors, who found his hip-swinging moves too provocative for primetime. But nearly 50 years after his passing, Graceland welcomes more than 600,000 visitors annually, and the Elvis Presley Fan Club network includes hundreds of active clubs across more than 30 countries.”

Gribbin-Schmitt credited director Ted Brown with bringing the “All The King’s Women” to the Ludlow Village Players’ attention, which has made her and a few others more aware of Presley’s career and achievements, since those predate a number of folks’ lifetimes.

“Our cast is mixed in age, with millennials and Generation X-ers on up to Baby Boomers,” Gribbin-Schmitt said. “The younger ones among us simply don’t have any direct experience with Elvis’ work from when he was alive, so it’s been a whole ride, familiarizing ourselves with him more fully.”

Gribbin-Schmitt promised prospective attendees a “nostalgic journey” with fast-paced humor and even an educational component, and while it’s not so much a showy big-stage production, she believes the performers’ emotions will capture audiences’ attentions and convey the culture of American history during Elvis Presley’s reign.

“It’s the perfect date night, girls’ night out or excuse to gather friends for an afternoon of laughs and memories,” Gribbin-Schmitt said. “Whether you grew up swooning over Elvis on TV, or you’ve only ever known him as the legend in the jumpsuit, you’ll leave the theater with a smile, and maybe even a song stuck in your head.”

She added, “Community theater in Port Ludlow means intimate, up-close performances, where every seat feels like the best seat in the house.”
