Hey Everyone, it's Ansley Cameron again!
I just want everyone to know that I am in LOVE. The Great American Trailer Park Musical is like the best boyfriend I have ever had. It is always there for me every week night, makes me laugh until I cry, when I cry it holds me and warms my heart, it keeps me in line when I'm getting a little b*tchy, and makes me feel hotter than a PlayBoy Magazine cover. It's True Love.
Get Ready, Get Set, Get Crunk!
This amazing little piece of work gets on its feet starting this Sunday so hold on, baby! We are working our butts off at rehearsal, literally. I am serious, my butt hurts. It hard to walk, get out of bed, strut... but I promise you, there is a great group of butts that are planning on rockin' your world in just a few days!!
A Tender Note:
I just can't tell you how much fun I have had with the cast and crew of this show. I am so proud to be in a show with the talent, ability, and passion that this cast and crew delivers. It has been an honor to perform along side this handsome group of people. Having just graduated college with a Music Edu degree, I never would have guessed that I would be perfoming again and with such a fantastic cast. I promise you will being seeing the names of my fellow cast mates in playbills around the world.
Ok, NOW back to ME:
I promise, some beltin', flailin', movin', shakin', and lots of clevedge from this lil' catch. So I leave you with this...Just get ready to be worked!
See you there!

Let the Countdown begin!
Hello! I just wanted to take a few minutes from my very busy job at SunWorld on Main(that's sarcasm) to gush about TGATPM. But since I have a habit of beating a dead horse when I get excited (or armadillo in this case). I decided I would make 2 Top Ten Lists that would fully articulate my excitement. Here goes....
TOP TEN FAVORITE LINES FROM THE SHOW (in order of appearance)
(1)"First off I do not work on my tan near three hundred and sixty five days a year to be called white anything"-Betty
(2) "Earl was right to shoot that son of a bitch, He was in the wrong lane" -Linoleum
(3)"He likes foreign beers, and cheese.. that smells like urine"- Pickles
(4)"Tonight the Litter Box Show Palace is proud to present a new dancer! Pippi has performed in Atlanta Georgia at the Pitchers Mound. In Detroit, Michigan at the Stick Shift. And in Oklahoma City's premier adult dinner thee-ayter... Chicken n' Cooter." -Linoleum
(5)"Look. I am a dancer period. Not a 'dancer with benefits'." -Pippi
" Well... I dont care about your health insurance"- Norbert
(6)"I promised myself that very day that I would leave this trailer so we could celebrate our anniversary. So I started practicin'- First it was the toe, then the foot, then my whole leg... Then it was "Lies and Deception" on Lifetime TV so I got a little sidetracked-" - Jeannie
(7)"Home? When I think of all the times I slaved over makin you snacks and cleanin up this trailer and... makin you snacks. You think them Jalepeno Pringles cover themselves in spray cheese?" -Jeannie
(8)"You know what? Fuck all ya'll! I'm gonna shoot up this whoe trailer park and everybody in it and its all your fault! And you cant stop me cause I know where you live. And I know where Pippi lives. And I got a case load of that there cooking spray because I... am a member.. of Costco!" -Duke
(9)"So when I was all like 'Pippi you are gonna die, youre just gonna die' I meant it Pippi. Youre gonna die. OhmyGod! OhmyGod, Pippi! I love you so much!" -Tina
(10)"Well... that. And the fact that your husbands corpse is buried in my backyard."- Jeannie
"Such a good friend"- Betty
... aljdflkandfvlandlfknjal that was hard!!!!
TOP TEN REASONS YOU SHOULD COME SEE "THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL"
(1) We have the most attractive cast around!
(2) You will laugh, you will cry, you will scream, you will throw chairs, you will get a craving for Funyuns and you may develop a slight liking towards cousins (plan accordingly).
(3) If "Desperate Housewives" and "South Park" had an illegitamate child, it would be this show.
(4) Because we are coming to you! We are scheduling shows in Fargo, Detroit Lakes and Grand Forks
(5) All of us involved have worked our butts off to build sets, hang posters, and work toward perfecting this show. It would mean alot if you would come out and see us so we knew our efforts would not be in vain.
(6) Although all of us are starving artists, willing to eat Ramen in order to perform to an empty house. It would be great to get a huge turn-out, so we can have more people to laugh and enjoy the show with.
(7) THERE IS BOOZE! Yes indeed-ee-do! There will be alcohol served before, during and after the shows. The more you drink, the funnier we are. Just kidding. But if you enjoy a cocktail, it will be available.
(8) Many of our movements are aimed to mock the stereotypical 'Musical Theatre' genre. Expect to see some exagerated hand gestures, over the top facial expression, and movements in unison. Your welcome.
(9) The music ranges from ABBA styling to some good old fashioned knee-slappin Country. (Caution: You may want to throw in your tape of Garth Brooks' "..And the thunder rolls. And the lightning strikes. bum-bum-bum...")
(10) We have a blast up on that stage, and its contagious. This isnt your grandma's trailer park. This one is packed with chair throwing, fake baby birthing, cooking spray-ing, stripper poling, agoraphobia-ing... well you get the point. COME AND SEE IT
See you there!

The "Great" in "The Great American Trailer Park Musical"
Hey Y'all! My name is Ansley Cameron and I believe I make up the "Great" in "The Great American Trailer Park Musical". I kind of ooze excellence. My skin glows in dark rooms and my hair can provide shade to those who need rest on a hot sunny day. So it was no so surprise when I was cast in the role as Lin; the edgy rough and tumble sex kitten of the Trailer Park Gals.
A little about "LIN":
Lin's full name is Linoleum. She was given this elegant name because her mother gave birth to her right on the kitchen floor. Her husband has been on death row for 8 years and was sentenced to death on the electric chair. The electricity in Stark, Florida is always on the fritz. So in a duel effort to punish and save her husband; Lin runs around and makes sure that everyone in Stark keeps their electricity on. This will ensure that the electric chair doesn't take the life of her husband, Earl. In her free time, Lin loves to tan, read gossip magazines, hang with the girls, hang out with her random boyfriends and break out into song and dance at any given moment.
A little about "ANSLEY":
If you can't already tell; I am a fun-loving, sarcastic, and playful beautiful blonde bomb-shell. I just graduated for NDSU with a B.S. in Music Education. I love working with youth and helping to them grow into wonderful people through music. I am so excited to get to work with the artistic staff and cast of this musical. Everyday, someone in this show inspires me, makes me laugh, and leaves me speechless (which can be a hard thing to do). This rehearsal process has been so exciting. I just can't wait to whip on these wigs and hot pants and belt my little heart out with this cast! I can't wait for YOU to see this show... you will laugh until you cry... in a good way. :0)
Until next time,
Ansley Cameron

Trash talkin' with Krista
Hello readers one and all!
This is Krista Costin, one of the seven cast members of "Trailer Park." Welcome to our blog! I hope that you will read on as we journey through the rehearsal process to opening night - July 12 at the Holmes Theatre in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Also, share this blog with everyone you know: friends, family, your family physician, dentist, hairdresser ... get it? EVERYONE! This show is sure to take this community by storm. It chronicles the life and times of 7 characters who, are (at some point) residents of Armadillo Acres Trailer Park in Starke, Florida. Some residents are more permanent than others .... which brings me to the part I am playing! I am playing Betty: the brassy (but classy) down-to-earth caretaker of the Trailer Park. She has lived there since 1973 and knows the dirt on everyone and everything. She has a quick wit that makes me giggle. For instance: upon being called "white trash" at White Castle, she says, "I don't work on my tan near 365 days a year to be called white anything!" There you have Betty in a nutshell! As you read on, I'm sure you'll get a glimpse of the other characters in the show from the rest of the cast who will be getting their blog on!!
My favorite part of this show is the utter honesty that each of these characters portray. The top question that I get from people when asked about the show is "does the show only make fun of people in trailer parks?" Well, yes and no. The script and score for the show hilariously plays with these stereotypes, however, it never loses its grip on the fact that these are real people in real situations. The mix of country, rock, gospel and all different genres of music gives the show never-ending variety that will leave you wanting more at the end!!
Stay tuned for more blog entries, pictures and video footage as we continue our rehearsal process. Till next time! ....
