Tickets go on sale Fri., Oct. 27 at 11 am at playhousesquare.org, 216-241-6000 and the Ticket Office, priced at $49, $39 & $29. (Adult content*.) Show times will be: Thurs., Fri. & Sat. at 8 pm, with one Sat. 4 pm matinee.
Past buyers of Dixie's Tupperware Party have been begging for her return ever since she turned Playhouse Square upside down with her one-of-a-kind comedy party, selling out the performances! Now in her 10th anniversary season, Dixie is still the mother of three from an Alabama trailer park who straightened out her life (she had a final meeting with her parole officer!)--by selling the iconic plastic bowls. Dixie and her booze-filled sippy cup also demonstrates her hilarious "alternative" uses for what she calls "the most fantastic crap on the planet!"
Audiences howl with laughter as the fast-talking Dixie throws a good ol' fashioned Tupperware Party filled with outrageously funny tales, heartfelt accounts, FREE giveaways, audience participation and the most fabulous assortment of Tupperware ever sold on a theater stage! (And, yes, at show's end, attendees CAN buy the most up-to-date Tupperware available!) Written by Kris Andersson, the production plays Cleveland as part of a tour that has, so far, logged over 1200 performances worldwide.
