Ok girls, this is not your mother’s Tupperware party 🙂
Looking for a break from spring break? A great girls’ night out? A lot of laughs with some food storage options? Meet Dixie.
Dixie Longate is the fast-talking, gum chewing, ginger-haired Alabama gal who is bringing the Tupperware party into the 21st century. Audiences around the country have been howling with laughter as Dixie demonstrates the many alternative uses for the iconic plastic kitchen staple.
DIXIE’S TUPPERWARE PARTY
APR 4 – 8, 2023
Booth Playhouse at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center
ICYMI, Dixie Longate is the drag persona of American actor, writer, comedian, and drag performer Kris Andersson who has been performing a solo act called Dixie’s Tupperware Party for years all the while engaging with her audience to sell actual Tupperware products.
Andersson’s role as Dixie began as a dare from a friend to sell Tupperware while in drag. Andersson accepted the challenge, and went on to become Tupperware’s number 1 sales representative in both the United States and Canada while developing the show.
When a friend of hers told her she should turn her living room party into a theatrical show, she laughed so hard at the idea, she almost had to put down her drink.
…Almost…
Filled with outrageous & funny tales, heartfelt accounts, audience participation and a little bit of empowerment and homespun wisdom, Dixie’s Tupperware Party is coming to the QC April 4 – 8, where you can enjoy the show in a whole new way as the Booth Playhouse is transformed to cabaret style seating.
We’re just gonna say it ~ Dixie is our spirit animal. We can’t wait to meet her! You can read all about her on her website here, but for example…
She followed up the tupperware party in 2014 with her 2nd show, “Never Wear a Tube Top While Riding A Mechanical Bull (and 16 other things I learned while I was drinking last Thursday)”
During the lockdown in 2020, she came up with her first streaming show while refilling her breakfast vodka as she was trying to homeschool her kids. “Dixie’s Happy Hour” ran in 26 cities over the first few months of 2021.
And now she’s back in Charlotte to entertain us with Dixie’s Tupperware party. Don’t miss it.
