Event Details
Bettye and the Jockettes Spinning Records at the Holiday Inn
It’s July 3, 1956 and the jockettes of WHER, America’s first all-girl radio station in Memphis, Tennessee, are having one hell of a day; the copywriter has run off to elope, they have just found out that the Elvis Presley is coming to the station to be interviewed on-air, and their star DJ Bettye has shown up… in pants. When Elvis’ record promoter arrives and is none other than Bettye’s former flame Benjamin, sarcastic zingers fly, sisterhoods are forged, and secrets are exposed.
Written by Christie Perfetti Williams Directed by Sara Thigpen Produced by Retro Productions, Associate Producer MozzleStead Company
The cast features Tracey Beltrano, Heather E. Cunningham, Joe Mathers, Marie Elena O'Brien, Alisha Spielmann, Matthew Tarricone, and Morgan Nadia Williams.
