AUDITIONS!!! - Sunday, OCT. 27
The Great American Trailer Park Musical
Music by: David Nehls
Book by: Betsy Kelso
Directed/Choreographed by: Henry Scott
Music Direction by: John Allen Bankson
RUN DATES: May 7 to May 30, 2020
There's a new tenant at Armadillo Acres and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park (is that an oxymoron?). When Pippi, the stripper on the run, comes between the daytime-TV-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband, the storms begin to brew.
Warning: This show contains crude language, adult situations, ugly wigs, adultery, bad perms, spray cheese, tacky outfits, road kill, hysterical pregnancy, kleptomania, and strippers. With music set to country rock, gospel, blues and disco, it's everything a trash-talking musical should be.
