Dixie's Tupperware Party serves up laughs

Down South LLC brings humor to Hartford Dixie's Tupperware Party, the hilarious show starring Dixie Longate which took The Bushnell by storm this November will return to Hartford for four performances only Friday, April 29 through Sunday, May 1, 2010. Written by Kris Andersson, the production is playing Hartford as part of a 20-city national tour. Dixie's Tupperware Party stars Dixie Longate, as the fast-talking Tupperware Lady, who has packed up her catalogues, and left her children in an Alabama trailer park to journey across America. Critics and audiences alike have howled with laughter as Dixie throws a good ol' fashioned Tupperware Party filled with outrageously funny tales, heartfelt accounts, free giveaways, audience participation and the most fabulous assortment of Tupperware ever sold on a theater stage! Loaded with the most up-to-date products available for purchase, Ms. Longate will share how she became the number one Tupperware seller in the world, as she educates her guests on the many alternative uses she has discovered for her plastic products. Produced by Down South LLC and directed by Patrick Richwood, Dixie's Tupperware Party will feature costumes designed by Miss Longate and lighting designed by Richard Winkler.
