2011/2012 Season

The Great American Trailer Park Musical
Music and Lyrics by David Nehls
Book by Betsy Kelso
Toronto Premiere

Sept 23 - Oct 8, 2011

The Great American Trailer Park Musical is a tongue-in-cheek, rockabilly romp filled with strip clubs, hysterical pregnancies and dreams of the Ice Capades. Men collude in death-row hijinks and find love in the bottom of tall-boy beer cans. Women use a whole lot of hairspray while chain-smoking Camels and opening boxes of donuts with their jewel-encrusted, manicured finger nails. We’re talkin’ trashy - trailer trashy.
