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 Dr. Phil–loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband—the storms begin to brew.

Described as “‘South Park’ meets ‘Desperate Housewives’…with a cheeky script by Betsy Kelso [and] an infectious score by David Nehls” by the New York Sun. The show includes the songs “It Doesn’t Take a Genius,” “The Great American TV Show” and our personal favorite, “Roadkill.”

Due to adult themes and subject matter, this show may not be appropriate for all audiences.

The creative team, led by Director Sara Schoch, includes Charles Houghton as set and lighting designer, and Logan Goodson as costume designer.

Ticket prices are $16 per person for adults, $12 per person for senior citizens and active military, $10 per person for non-UWF students and UWF faculty and staff, and $5 for high school students. UWF students are admitted free with their Nautilus Cards. Tickets can be purchased at the CFPA Box Office, Building 82, 850.857.6285 or online at uwf.edu/cfpa.
