Dixie Longate, a hilarious Southern belle known for her uninhibited style and side-splitting wit, will stir up some outrageous fun in "Dixie's Tupperware Party" at the Suncoast Showroom on Nov. 18-19.
Starring writer, actor and real-life Tupperware sales representative
Kris Andersson, Dixie is a Tupperware associate for the Orlando-based Tupperware Brands Corp. After packing her bags and leaving her children in an Alabama trailer park, Dixie's character now travels the country throwing Tupperware parties filled with funny tales, free giveaways and the most up-to-date products available for purchase.
Andersson debuted "Dixie's Tupperware Party" at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival. Following
the show's debut, he teamed up with playwright
Elizabeth Meriwether and director
Alex Timbers to create an off-Broadway version of the production. The show received a 2007-08 Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance.
