The Lyric Theatre Presents

Dixie's Tupperware Party

It all started with a candy dish.  Dixie Longate, just out of prison and looking for a way to support her three children (Wynona, Dwayne and Absorbine, Jr.), was fascinated by what she thought was a crystal bowl on her parole officer’s desk.  It was actually Tupperware, and so began Dixie’s inspired climb from her Mobile, Alabama trailer park to unparalleled success as the nation’s #1 Tupperware salesperson.

“I started selling the fantastic plastic crap in 2001, and I have never had so much fun drinking for free in my life!” says Dixie.  She promises you a great time, too.  This  hilarious show is filled with outrageous stories, games, giveaways, audience participation and loads of surprises – because with Dixie in the house, the party is never dull.

Yes, this really is a Tupperware party and you can actually buy Tupperware at the show.  Dixie will even helpfully recommend alternative uses for various products.  (Who couldn’t use a sippy cup for their dirty martini?) 

Dixie took her party to the New York International Fringe Festival in 2004, and later had a successful off-Broadway run.  (She even earned a Drama Desk nomination in 2007/08 for Outstanding Solo Performance.  Shut up!)  She was a hit at the Lyric last year, and is returning as part of her national tour.
