“Radio TBS (Trailer-Park Broadcasting Scandals)” will conclude its run at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Centennial Theatre this weekend.
The comedy by Arkansas playwright Mark Landon Smith is presented by Higher Art Theater & Studio. It follows Vesta Poteet and Dixie Mandrell, hostesses of the Luna Del Mar Radio Report, which is broadcast live from a trailer park’s clubhouse.
Exciting things are happening with the residents of the Luna Del Mar Manufactured Home Oasis and Monkey Emporium in Central Florida. Alveeta is grooming the not-so-small Mayola in becoming the next Miss Manatee. Mary Eunice is circulating a petition to remove Imogene Hurst from trailer No. 666 for teaching bellydancing. A roving reporter is headed to Graceland, though her eventual arrest by security guards is most unfortunate. And everyone is gearing up for “Jesus and Elvis, a Tribute to the Kings,” a rock ‘n’ roll Nativity.
Local actresses Tina Brodgon and Hollie Baranick have the central roles as Vesta and Dixie, respectively. Their running commentary brings the action to life.
