THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL

Directed by Jerry D. Allen

Musical Direction by Russell L. Wynn, Jr.

November 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21 at 8:00 P.M.

Sparkling like aluminum siding, this campy, caustic musical fable is ripe with adultery, strippers, murderous ex-boyfriends, and the Ice Capades.  Complete with a trashy Greek chorus of trailer park divas, Armadillo community. It’s a wheel spinning, mud splattering good time of a show--the theatrical equivalent of a bag of Doritos. You can’t get enough!

Suitable for ages 17 and above. Mature language and situations.
