Dixie’s Tupperware Party
In 2004, Dixie Longate was one of the top three Tupperware sellers in the country. Then, she packed up her containers and catalogues and brought them to off-Broadway stages as a theatrical show. Today, the fast-talking mom from Mobile, Alabama, sparkles in a show that the New York Times ruled “part drag, part double-entendre, but somehow never downright camp.”
As the audience enters the show, each member gets a name tag and prepares for Dixie’s spiel on the wonders of creative food-storage solutions—or “fantastic plastic crap.” During the course of the show, Dixie shares personal accounts, regales with witty anecdotes, and interacts with the audience, urging them to hold hands, sing, and compete in contests to see who can fit all of their fears into a sandwich container. Strewn among the crowd are Tupperware catalogs that feature the latest leftover-preservation products, which guests can actually buy at the show. Contains adult content.
Turner Hall Ballroom
The Turner Hall Ballroom is an expansive performance hall complete with a stage and sweeping balcony that played host to social, cultural and political exhibitions throughout the early 1900’s. Due to multiple fires, the ballroom operators were forced to close its doors years ago. Now, however, this preservation trust is working to restore the historic structure to its former glory. As a potentially great venue for showcasing the arts, as well as a historic treasure, the restoration project is underway with great support from local residents and community businesses. The trust needs your help to restore this gem and reinstate a major portion of the city’s history.
