The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical Arts + Culture 01 - 22 December Music and Lyrics by David Nehls Book by Betsy Kelso Holiday time at North Florida’s Armadillo Acres means everyone’s filled with warmth and beer.

With Betty, Lin and Pickles on hand to amp up the fracas and festivity, this all-new musical is just as much of a cat-fightin’, sun-worshippin’, chair-throwin’ good time as the original – but with tinsel and Keg Nog.
