The trailer park trio in The Great American Trailer Park Musical (Dan Davidson) |
The Great American
Trailer Park Musical

Through August 29, 2015
STAGEright started out, when they began producing, including
musicals every once in a while. Their recent successes with musicals seem to
have buoyed them to feel like they can really do this thing, and they’re doing them more and more. Given the
feeling of fun and the level of talent in The
Great American Trailer Park Musical, now play through August 29, they’re
correct to do so!
Written by David Nehls and Betsy Kelso, iIt explores the
relationships between the tenants at the Armadillo Acres Trailer Park in
Florida, particularly between Pippi, "the stripper on the run," agoraphobic
Jeannie, and Jeannie's tollbooth-collector husband Norbert. It was performed in
the first annual New York Music Theater Festival in 2004 and Off-Broadway in
2005. It’s apparently a kind of “cult musical.”
