Jerry's next gig is in Springfield, Missouri, where he will be taking on a couple of roles at the Tent Theatre, located on the campus of Missouri State University. There, he will perform the role of Jim in the Elvis Presley jukebox musical All Shook Up from June 8-June 18, 2016. Then he will play Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady, singing the classic Lerner and Loewe tunes "Get Me to the Church on Time" and "With a Little Bit of Luck." This performance runs from July 6-July 17, 2016.

Tent Theatre is a summer tradition held in a tent pitched directly north of Craig Hall on the southwest corner of the Missouri State University campus. The seating capacity is a little over 300 seats. Summer Tent Theatre conventionally presents two musicals and a comedy playing in repertory for six weeks with a specially selected company of students and guest artists. Notable Tent Theatre performers include Missouri State alumni John Goodman, Tess Harper, and Kathleen Turner.
