Overview
Radio hostesses and society doyennes Vesta Poteet and Dixie Mandrell bring to you the comings and goings of the activities in and around The Luna Del Mar Manufactured Home Oasis and Monkey Empire — very few of the monkeys are contagious. And what a jumpin’ place this trailer park is. There’s a visit to Graceland from rovin’ reporter Missy Goode (and her unfortunate arrest by the security guards); there’s the upcomin’ Miss Manatee contest, if forced contestant Mayola Felts can stop eaten’ every sweet thing she can get her hands on; there’s The Heart of Dixie advice for the lovelorn and addicted — a subscription to the Gone with the Wind collectors series of plates with Scarlette O’Hara looking like Ernest Borgnine in drag is a dramatic disappointment. The colossal celebration at Luna Del Mar, penicillin capital of central Florida, is Jesus and Elvis; A Tribute to the Kings, a little nativity with some rock n’ roll. So it’s not the holidays, but in honor of Elvis, a drive-by nativity is planned with headlights to be beamed on the annual tableau — low headlights, PLEASE! If you think that this kings’ tribute runs smoothly, you’ll also believe that teased hair is a thing of the past.
Note from the Director:
This is a zany, outrageous comedy! I am looking for bold personalities and choices, but that still grounds them that these are real people.
I am also looking for a diverse cast of ages, races/ethnicities, gender identities, and body types. This is a strong group of women, and I want the cast and crew to reflect that and bring it to life.
