THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL Will Come to the Adobe Theater
Cameron Illidge-Welch directs the comedy set in fictional Armadillo Acres, featuring Michelle Volpe Roe and Laura Cummins Wright
The Adobe Theater will present The Great American Trailer Park Musical. The show
runs from May 29th - June 21st.
The Great American Trailer Park Musical, written by David Nels and Betsy Kehlso, and directed by Cameron Illidge-Welch, is a raucous, heart-filled musical comedy set in the fictional Armadillo Acres, a most exclusive trailer park, in North Florida.
There is a new tenant and she is wreaking hurricane-type havoc on this quiet little community. When 'Pippi', a stripper on the run, comes between housewife 'Jeannie', a Dr. Phil-loving agoraphobe, and her tollbooth-collector husband 'Norbert', the storms begin to brew. What follows is a wildly entertaining mix of infidelity, desperation, loyalty, and unexpected compassion.
Packed with outrageous humor, big personalities, and a country-rock score, the show embraces camp and chaos while ultimately revealing surprising emotional depth and redemption beneath the trailer-trash glitter.
Last year Cameron directed The Red Velvet Cake War and A Year In Quirky Town, both at The Adobe. He chose to direct this play "because it truly is what I feel I do best super high comedy with a moral and real heart underneath it. While this show looks like a huge funny romp through crazy Florida people land it really is one of the most heartfelt cries for acceptance of the life we choose vs the life we want!" Bringing the characters to life are Michelle Volpe Roe ('Pippa'), Laura Cummins Wright ('Jeannie'), Eddie Dethlefs ('Norbert) with Carolyn Hogan, Emily Melville, Xandra Michele, and Russell Rietmann.
