Win A Wake Contest Winner Will Celebrate the Life of Elvis!

Minneapolis, Minn, November 21, 2002.--- The Brave New Workshop Comedy Theatre and Flanagan's Wake are pleased to announce that Win A Wake contest winner Jeanne Fluegel has chosen to celebrate the life of Elvis Presley with 100 of her closest friends next week. Having won the contest in late August as part of a Flanagan's Wake summer promotion, Fluegel used the weeks between to plan her very own bon voyage to the King of Rock and Roll, Mr. Elvis Presley. Fluegel's private performance, Irish dinner, and party atmosphere will take place at the historic Palace Theatre in downtown St. Paul on November 30, 2002 at 1:00pm and is invite-only, making it a rare and unique event indeed.

Though not widely known, the Citizens of Grapplin are huge Elvis fans and have agreed to attend the Fluegel-sponsored Presley wake. They will assist in recounting the events of Elvis's life (and death) through music, dance, and storytelling. Destined to be the only Irish wake Elvis is sure to have any time soon, Fluegel and the Grapplin citizens are planning a hip-shakin' good time.

In referring to her lucky winnings, Fluegel noted that she and her sister had worked last summer to bring a group to Flanagan's Wake and it was her job to organize the event. Since she had made the reservation, her name was entered into the drawing. "This time, being the organizer really paid off," she added.

"Win A Wake" was part of a special summer promotion for Flanagan's Wake that entered anyone who reserved tickets into a drawing to win an all-expenses paid, customized "wake" to honor a person chosen by the winner. The "wake" includes dinner and custom show for up to 100 guests.

Though eagerly looking forward to the upcoming Presley wake, regular performances of Flanagan's Wake take place Thursdays and Fridays at 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00 p.m. and include an authentic Irish dinner.
