The Elvis Presley Game Show is an original rambunctious rock and roll romp with  serious soul that that looks at obsessive fandom, the search for identity and self-truth. The year is 1958. Prissy Love is a senior at Squaresville High School. She is the smartest kid in her class, #1 on the Honor Roll. Aces every Honors class offered. Won first prize at the science in her Junior Year. She has everything she needs to excel... but the Career Day Fair crushes her dreams for the future. There is one thin line that stands in her way. She's a girl. 

She is not popular, considered to be a weirdo and gets bullied at school.  She is put in her place by the popular girls who have fallen under the 1950's spell of believing that the only career path for a woman is being a wife and mother.  Prissy wants more but doesn't quite understand what it is that she wants or how to  get it. When she sees Elvis Presley on television. She experiences a paradigm shift. She realizes that her future is not about retiring with a gold watch after working for 30 years at the same boring job. No, her raison d'etre is much more than that. She is going to change the world by becoming the world’s #1 Elvis Presley Fan!

But there's one big problem that still needs to be overcome. She has to meet Elvis and tell him of her plan. She immediately joins the Fans Forever Elvis Presley Fan Club and applies to be a district leader of a new branch of the club in Squaresville. But when her application is rejected, the wind is taken out of her sail until she finds out that there are going to be try-outs for the THE ELVIS PRESLEY GAME SHOW!! - a televised trivia contest that involves answering questions and doing Elvis impersonations -  and where there is a possibility that the winner will get to meet Elvis in person.  She sets her sight on becoming a contestant and transforming Travis, Squaresville's Boy Next Door who has a jumbo crush on Prissy, into the perfect Elvis Impersonator so they can get on the show.

When Travis fails the impersonation audition, Prissy dumps him for Melvis, a ‘real’ Elvis impersonator who she meets at the try-outs. He sweeps her off her feet and moves into her mother’s house, paying for his room and board with Elvis impersonations amid empty promises that they will get on the show. But for Prissy, now armed with her secret weapon in Melvis to Elvis’ heart, she bulldozes over everything and everyone that she sees as an obstacle in her path to achieve her dream including her best friend, Hallie and breaking Travis' heart into a million pieces.

When Melvis loses interest in the Elvis thing, Prissy is jolted back to reality and she throws him out. Her dream seems empty and she hits rock bottom.  She's at the end of her road, having traveled nowhere and has not only lost touch with Hallie and Travis but with reality as well. Living only in her Elvis fantasy world, she finds herself on Lonely Street outside of Heartbreak Hotel and has a heated encounter with her English teacher that makes her take a deep look inside herself. Prissy sets out to find Hallie and Travis to ask for their forgiveness. However, Travis' life has taken a turn to the dark side and he has fallen off the radar.

Will Prissy ever find Travis? Will Hallie ever be her best friend again? Will Prissy ever
get on the Elvis Presley Game Show? Will she ever meet Elvis? Will she ever change the world? Will these questions ever be answered? Don't know but you'll have to come to show to find out.
