The Great American Trailer Park Musical

There’s a new tenant at Armadillo Acres—and she’s wreaking havoc all over North Florida’s most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi, a stripper on the run, comes between the Dr. Phil-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband, the cussing gets loud and storms begin to brew. Join us for this offbeat, fun-loving musical that the New York Times called “a heartfelt, humorous look at trailer park life,” with music that “slips across the dial of American radio from country to blues to rock to disco to bump and grind and R&B."  Rated M for language and adult situations.

Children of Eden

From musical theatre greats Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Pippin) and John Caird, comes a joyous and inspirational musical about the age-old relationship between parents and children.  Freely based on the book of Genesis, Children of Eden is a frank, heartfelt, and sometimes humorous examination of the beauty of family and the human spirit that celebrates the difficulty and consequences of choices, the value of questioning, and the pain in allowing those you love to take risks without knowing the outcome. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: “The hardest part of love … is letting go.”
