"Y'all must've taken a wrong turn...'cuz this here is Armadillo Acres!"
There's a new tenant and she's wreaking havoc all over the trailer park. When Pippi, the stripper on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend, comes between the Dr. Phil-loving, agoraphobic, Jeannie, and her tollbooth collector husband, Norbert, .... the storms begin to brew. The trailer park also plays home to a Greek-chorus-like trio of women Betty, Lin, and Pickles, each dysfunctional in her own right. Get ready to laugh?

First read-thru is Monday, June 24th - 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

CASTING 5 Women and 2 Men:
  • * Jeannie Garstecki (30s-50s) - Married her high school sweetheart,
    Norbert, in a shotgun wedding at 17. She hasn't left her trailer house in nearly 20 years, after a really bad perm distracted her and Norbert long enough for their 5-year-old to get kidnapped.
    VOCAL RANGE: (Belt and mezzo-soprano) strong low F to Db.
  • * Norbert Garstecki (30s-50s) - A rugged, former high school football star with a job as a highway toll collector who's fed up with his agoraphobic wife. Sparks fly when he meets Pippi, a stripper at a local club, The Litterbox Show Palace.
    VOCAL RANGE: (High baritone) Strong low A to Eb above middle C.
  • * Pippi (20s-30s) - Armadillo Acres' newest resident, she's a stripper on the run from her ex. She's trying not to make bad choices - like coming between Norbert and Jeannie.
    VOCAL RANGE: Big belt - low F to high F.
  • * Duke (20s-30s) - Pippi's marker-sniffing ex-boyfriend, who's hellbent on finding her after she ran out on him in Oklahoma City without a word or a forwarding address. Mayhem could be his middle name.
    VOCAL RANGE: Rock tenor - D in the bass clef to G above middle C.
  • * Betty (30s-50s) - Betty attended high school with Norbert and Jeannie Garstecki and has lived at Armadillo Acres for just as long. She now runs the leasing office and makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through the trailer park. Though a self-proclaimed "bad-ass," Betty is really a mother hen to the denizens of the trailer park. Of all "The Girls," Betty is the most grounded, earthy and dry.
    VOCAL RANGE: Rough belt - low F to Db.
  • * Linoleum "Lin" (30s) - So-named because her mother gave birth to her on the kitchen floor, Linoleum has a husband on death row at the Florida State Prison. His fate is an electric chair that doesn't work properly unless most of the town's electricity is turned off. So Lin watches everyone's lights and appliances very closely in the hopes that she can keep the chair on the fritz. Sometimes self-absorbed and sometimes just a smart-ass, she hints at a wild, rock-and-roll past and is the fieriest of "The Girls."
    VOCAL RANGE: Belt - strong low G to E.
  • * Donna "Pickles" - (late teens-early 20s) - A newlywed, Donna is called "Pickles" because she is perpetually hysterically pregnant - that is, she's so convinced she should be pregnant she's exhibiting symptoms. Her husband is a lot fancier than she is, as he is from the big city of Jacksonville. His parents haven't been very supportive of his marital choice, so Pickles is desperate to give her husband a family of his own - even if she has to fake it. The dimmest of "The Girls," Pickles is airy, sweet and blissfully ignorant.
    VOCAL RANGE: Belt - low A to strong high F.
