F. Michael Zaller (Norbert)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:45:40 CST

Zaller is best known for his role as Will Rogers in the National Tour of The Will Rogers Follies. Having grown up in Omaha, Nebraska, he performed such roles as Billy in Carousel and Curly in Oklahoma! He is an original cast member and co-owner of the Savannah Theatre in Savannah, Georgia.

His alter ego, Norbert, collects tolls for a living and tries to be as good a husband as anyone can be to an agoraphobic. A former high-school football star, he is a simple man who desperately wishes his wife could get out of the trailer, but he’s just not sure how to do it. He’s never loved or slept with another woman other than Jeannie. That is until he meets Pippi.

Lindsey Williams (Lin)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:44:56 CST

Williams has been acting professionally since 2001, working in ensemble review shows with GATP producer/director, Mike Meece. Her favorite roles include the Witch in Into the Woods, Mary in Jesus Christ Superstar, Annie in Annie Get Your Gun and Louisa in The Fantasticks. She is a cast member of the Savannah Theatre in Savannah, Georgia, and lives in Amarillo, Texas, where she is actively involved as a volunteer leader for several nonprofit organizations.

Her alter ego, Linoleum, is so named because her mother gave birth to her on the kitchen floor. Lin has a husband on death row at the Florida State Prison. His fate is an electric chair that doesn’t work properly unless most of the town’s electricity is turned off. Lin watches everyone’s lights and appliances very closely in the hopes she can keep the chair on the fritz.

Renee Switzer (Jeannie)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:43:55 CST

Switzer has been performing on stage since the ripe old age of eight. She is know for her work at Six Flags of Texas in the Legends show, playing Lucille Ball and Patsy Kline, and for her role in the ensemble show Lost in the 50s in Branson, Missouri. A native San Antonian, she graduated from East Central High School, grew up in Showstoppers and performed many times at the Josephine Theatre.

Her alter ego, Jeannie, has lived in a trailer at Armadillo Acres for 20 years with her husband and high-school sweetheart, Norbert. She was 17 when she got married, 18 when her son was born and 23 when he got kidnapped. That, coupled with a really bad perm, has turned her into an agoraphobic who won’t step a foot out of her trailer. She is married to Norbert.

Leigh Anne Stewart (Pippi)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:43:22 CST

A graduate of the Broadway Theatre Project, Stewart has been making her mark in Amarillo, Texas, theatre for the last eight years. An Alta Award-winner several times over, she has played Aida in Aida, Ado Annie in Oklahoma!, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and Anita in West Side Story. She also performed at the opening of the regionally acclaimed Amarillo Globe News Center for the Performing Arts.

Her alter ego, Pippi, is a professional stripper who is ready to stop making bad choices and start making changes. But first she has to get lost in a hick-town trailer park in North Florida so she won’t be found by her last bad choice, Duke.

Becky King (Pickles)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:42:03 CST

King, another native San Antonian, grew up on the stage here. She is currently a full time company member and choreographer for the Magik Theatre. Over the years, she has been on national tour with Barney’s Let’s Go Live! show and worked for Disney World in Orlando Florida, playing Ariel in The Voyage of the Little Mermaid. She is a San Antonio Globe Award winner and is excited to be back in San Antonio.

Her alter ego, Pickles, is a newly wed 17-year-old. Her husband is a lot fancier than she is, as he is from the big city of Jacksonville. His parents are not all too supportive of his marital choice, so she is desperate to give her husband a family of his own – even if she has to fake it.

Jane Haas (Betty)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:41:32 CST

A San Antonio Globe-winning actress, Haas most recently starred in Menopause The Musical as Earth Mother. In addition to her role as Betty, she is musical director of the show. Haas has been the music director at area theaters for more than 40 different musicals. She has previously been seen in Chicago (Mama Morton), Nunsense (Reverend Mother), and Cabaret (Fraulein Schneider).

Her alter ego, Betty, attended high school with Norbert and Jeannie Garstecki and she has lived in Armadillo Acres for just as long. She now runs the leasing office and makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through the trailer park. Though a self-proclaimed “bad-ass,” Betty is really a mother hen to the denizens of the trailer park.

Joshua Houston Green (Duke)

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:40:49 CST

Green makes his stage debut in the San Antonio production of The Great American Trailer Park Musical. He comes to the show just off tour as lead guitar and back up vocals for hard rock band Ben Hur.

His alter ego, Duke, is Pippi’s obsessive, possessive and excessive Magic Marker-sniffing boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend according to Pippi). Not so, according to Duke. And he’s bound and determined to find her.

Trailer Park Truffles

Cameotheatre — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:35:54 CST

(borrowed from bakespace.com and edited for fun)

1 8oz package - Cream Cheese
1 package Oreo Cookies
1 package Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Let cream cheese warm up to room temperature. In the mean time, fire up the food processor and give those Oreos a spin until well pulverized. Or just pound ‘em flat with your hammer.
Add the room temp cream cheese and pulse until nice and smooth.
Put this mass in the refrigerator until it firms up.
Melt your chocolate chips. Once the chocolate is melted, scoop out balls out of your chilled mass and roll them into truffle-sized balls.
Dip into chocolate and refrigerate again.
Keep ‘em cool (pun intended) until Bubba comes home.
