Live theater is back in Key Largo. The Key Players Community Theater is performing “The Great American Trailer Park Musical” at the Murray Nelson Cultural Center beginning on Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m.
It’s an All-American musical odyssey exploring the interpersonal relationships of people living in a tight-knit Florida trailer park. When a beautiful stripper moves into town and develops a relationship with her neighbor’s husband, you can guess what hits the fan. Then the crazy ex-boyfriend shows up, and the bedlam ramps up even more.
Viewers will see agoraphobia, adultery, hysterical pregnancy, strippers, huffing, electric chairs, flan, roadkill, toll collecting, spray cheese, disco and guns. In other words, the typical southern Florida trailer park shenanigans.
The show was cast in August and has been rehearsing three nights a week for the last six months to learn the music, choreography and staging. They have persevered through COVID, cast members moving to and commuting from Big Pine Key, having to replace a lead role just recently, and expenses growing.
The show is rated PG-13 for content. Admission is $20 at the ticket outlets Key Largo Chocolates & Ice Cream, MM 100.5; Shear Paradise (Cedar Towers Plaza), MM 99.3; and PostNet Store, MM 88, Islamorada.
