ShenanArts presents The Great American Trailer Park Musical

Contributors

The Great American Trailer Park Musical is a country-rock and blues musical about agoraphobia, ’80s nostalgia, spray cheese, road kill, hysterical pregnancy, a broken electric chair, kleptomania, strippers, flan, and disco.

The musical, being presented by ShenanArts, centers around regular guy Norbert and his agoraphobic wife, Jeannie, whose marriage is threatened by Armadillo Acres’ newcomer, the hot young stripper Pippi. The trailer park also plays home to a Greek-chorus-like trio of women Lin, Betty and Pickles, each dysfunctional in her own right.

The Off-Broadway smash has been called “More fun than a chair-throwing episode of Jerry Springer set to music.” by New Yorker magazine.

“Trailer Park is a tongue-in-cheek look into the lives of the residents of Armadillo Acres. It will have you in stitches from the opening number! This material and these actors or so awesome!” states show director Jeff McDaniel.

The production stars local favorites Brittany Kislek (Jeannie), Brent Hull (Norbert), Erin Tawney (Pippi), Aaron Crosby (Duke), Sandi Belcher (Betty), Keyairra Talley (Lin), and Cori McDaniel (Pickles).

Recommend for ages 14 & up . Adult themes.

The Great American Trailer Park Musical is directed by Jeff McDaniel. The production team includes Keyairra Talley (Choreographer), Melissa Dull (Musical Director), Jennifer Vaughan (scenic design), Vickie Craft(costume design), Tom Kernan (lighting design), Jeff McDaniel (sound designer), and Laura Craft (production stage manager).
