Dixie's Tupperware Party to Launch National Tour in Fall 2008
By: Dan Bacalzo · Apr 30, 2008 · Touring Productions

The Drama Desk nominated solo show Dixie's Tupperware Party, written and performed by Kris Andersson, will launch a 20-city national tour at the Invisible Theatre in Tucson, AZ in the fall of 2008.


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. The show includes outrageous tales, free giveaways, and the most fabulous assortment of Tupperware ever sold on any stage!


The play, which garnered a 2007/08 Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance, was originally produced at the 2005 New York International Fringe Festival, and played Off Broadway's Ars Nova last spring.
