Production Description Casting "The Great American Trailer Park Musical." Synopsis: The year is 2004 and there's a new tenant at Armadillo Acres and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi, the stripper on the run, comes between the daytime-TV-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband, the storms begin to brew. Warning: This show contains crude language, adult situations, ugly wigs, adultery, bad perms, spray cheese, tacky outfits, roadkill, hysterical pregnancy, kleptomania, and strippers. With music set to country rock, gospel, blues, and disco, it's everything a trash-talking musical should be. RolesCollapse

Jeannie's lovable, toll collecting, past-his-glory high school football star husband; never stopped loving his wife ever since she tutored him in geometry back in high school but her agoraphobia is starting to strain their 20-year marriage; this leads Norbert to make some bad decisions while searching for some care and compassion outside his mobile home; high baritone with a country twang; high baritone with a country twang.

Pippi (Lead): Female, 20-30
 A striking beauty with a great body and a taste for clothing that shows it off; a professional stripper who has gotten by on her looks and talents for dancing and petty theft; means no harm and is ready to stop making bad choices and start making changes; leaves her boyfriend and moves to the small town of Armadillo Acres to start over; mezzo with high belt; will require removal of clothing, on stage, down to bra and underwear.

  Betty (Supporting): 30-50


one of “The Girls"; the Mother Hen of Armadillo Acres; Betty runs the leasing office and makes it her business to know everybody else's business; her no-nonsense attitude and straight-talking make her the leader of the pack and someone the other girls look to for friendship and advice; alto with  belt; will be seeing both women and men for the role of Betty; for men, not looking for "Drag Queen" Betty; we are looking for "Wait, is that a man?" Betty; think Amazon Eve from American Horror Story: freak show; this is just a man living his life as a regular, trailer park woman; portrayal should be truthful, not campy; for women, play her as a woman, not a woman playing a man playing woman; the Transgender aspect will not come into play if the character is played by a woman; high baritone with a country twang. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities 

 
Linoleum "Lin" (Supporting): Female, 25-40
One of “The Girls"; so-named because her mother gave birth to her on the kitchen floor; 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 has a smart mouth, she hints at a wild, rock-and-roll past and is the fiercest of “The Girls"; mid-range belt. Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

Donna "Pickles" (Supporting): Female, 16-25
one of “The Girls"; a newlywed; 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"; airy, sweet, and blissfully ignorant; will also play the role of Tina, Pippi's friend from back home; mezzo with mix.
