The Great American Trailer Park Musical is a hilarious musical about life at Florida's most exclusive trailer park, Armadillo Acres. There's a storm brewin', and it ain't any old hurricane, as a stripper on the run named Pippi wreaks havoc on the life of agoraphobic Jeannie, her toll-booth collector husband and the nosy neighbors of this tight-knit mobile home community. With an outrageous and electrifying score, The Great American Trailer Park Musical may deal with spray cheese, Dr. Phil, road kill, hysterical pregnancy, agoraphobia, an electric chair, strippers and more, but it's the colorful characters and lasting friendships that are the heart of this side-splitting musical.
