There’s a new tenant at Armadillo Acres – and she’s wreaking havoc all over Florida’s most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi, the stripper on the run, comes between the Dr. Phil-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband – the storms begin to brew. Featuring Leigh Barrett, Mary Callanan, Kerry A. Dowling, and David Benoit.

"[Trailer Park Musical is] 100 minutes of rowdy, silly, laugh-out-loud fun." - The Boston Globe

"The Great American Trailer Park Musical is fun from start to finish. " - BroadwayWorld.com

"[Trailer Park] succeeds riotously and absolutely." - EDGE Boston

" ‘Trailer Park’ is, more than anything, plain entertaining [and] the perfect way to ease into summer." - Boston Herald

      The Trailer Park Musical is hilarious, breathtaking and full of unexpected twists and turns. It keeps you on your toes and cringing with laughter.

      The material is fairly clever as is the staging and the sets/costumes. The extra-ordinary cast really keeps things moving and speeding past any minor quibbles, and highlights the sweetness that's at the core. Great fun for all, even the non-theater folks will be laughing a lot! Worth full price, a true entertainment bargain through Bostix! Collapse

      A fantastically funny and campy show. Don't go in expecting great theatrical insights, just an evening or afternoon of pure fun. Catchy music and a cast willing to play their characters to the hilt make for a fun time. The story is predictable early on and there are some slow moments, but the inuendos and witty turns of phrase more than make up for it. Collapse

      Really doesn't matter what the play is when you have a cast like this. I smiled as soon as I saw the set and didn't stop smiling until I left the theater. What else would one want?!

      We saw this last Thursday and probably didn't stop laughing for the entire 140 minutes. The singing is phenomenal and the acting is great; a wonderful surprise!!!

      I saw this with my husband on Saturday. He is not crazy about musicals but he really enjoyed this one. Excellent set, good songs, talented actors.

      Very good light and funny show. The end will surprise you and it is very unique but realistic in many ways of this lifestyle which makes it believable. The voices of the cast were great!
