Rubber Chicken Theater, Shack team up for musical

Agoraphobia, ‘80s nostalgia, road kill, strippers and disco – it’s everything a musical should be.

And Rubber Chicken Theater and the Shack are once again partnering for an evening of delicious food and quality entertainment with the dinner theater production of “The Great American Trailer Park Musical.”

Joyful and unashamedly vulgar “The Great American Trailer Park Musical” has been called South Park meets Desperate Housewives and Jerry Springer set to music by theater critics around the country.

This rollicking musical is set in Armadillo Acres, one of the most exclusive trailer parks in Florida. When a stripper named Pippi moves in, on the run from her permanent-marker-sniffing ex-boyfriend named Duke, she gets sympathy from the park’s ruling clique of Betty, Linoleum and Pickles – until she comes between the QVC-loving agoraphobic Jeanne and her toll booth collector husband Norbert.

The cast of Trailer Park is made up of local theater veterans Tammy Ostrander, Sharon Dixon Obst, Sarah Larson, Elizabeth Nelson, Jerry Bacon, and Luke Moravec. Newcomer Bridget Ideker rounds out the cast. The show is also being sponsored in part by B-105, today’s best country and your all-time favorites.

The show runs, Sept. 17-18, 20, and 25-27, and October 2-4. There will be no performance on Saturday, September 19. Sunday matinee seating begins at noon and tickets are $30; dinner seating begins at 6:30pm with a $35 ticket price. Tickets must be reserved in advance by calling The Shack at (715) 392-3463 (DINE). This show does contain adult language and situations.
