Character Breakdown:

​

Love triangle

JEANNIE GARSTECKI (35-45 yrs old)  Has lived in Armadillo Acres for 20 years with her husband, Norbert.  She was 17 when she married, 18 when her son was born and 23 when he got kidnapped.  She never leaves her trailer because of the tragedy, and she and her husband are drifting further apart.  She must try to get out of the trailer to save the marriage.

 

NORBERT GARSTECKI (35-45 yrs old)  Jeannie’s husband is a toll collector.  A former high school football star is getting tired of the stressful marriage.  He is a simple man who can’t figure out how to save his marriage.  He has never loved or slept with another woman, until…

 

PIPPI (28-35 yrs old)  Pippi is a beauty whose whole life has been about surviving.  She is a professional stripper.  She is ready to stop making bad choices and start making changes, but first she has to get lost in a hick-town trailer park so she won’t be found by her last bad choice…

 

DUKE (24-28 yrs old)  Pippi’s obsessive, possessive and excessive boyfriend.  Not the brightest guy, Duke leaves a trail of disaster in his wake wherever he goes.  His road trip to Starke is no exception and his arrival at the trailer park is full of surprises…..

 

The girls

BETTY (38-60)  She runs armadillo Acres, a Florida trailer park.  She makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through the trailer park.  She is a mother hen to all.  Betty is grounded, earthy and dry.

 

LINOLEUM (LIN) (30 yrs old)  Her husband is on death row at the Florida State Prison.  His fate is an electric chair that doesn’t work unless the town’s electricity is turned off.  So Lin keeps those lights on.  Sometimes self-absorbed and sometimes a smart-ass, she is the fieriest of the girls.

 

DONNA ‘PICKLES’ (17 yrs old)  Pickles is a newlywed and perpetually hysterically pregnant.  Her husband is a fancy guy from the big city.  His parents haven’t been supportive of the marriage, so pickles wants to start a family of their own-even if she has to fake it.  The dimmest of the girls.  She is airy, sweet and ignorant.

 

​We look forward to seeing you at auditions!
