Guffaw at a Tupperware party unlike any other as the Off-Broadway one-woman (one-man) show Dixie’s Tupperware Party hosts nightly events at the Theatre Under The Stars June 4 through 16, 2013.
Join fictional Tupperware hostess extraordinaire – and hot mess – Dixie Longate, as she welcomes you to her 80-minute pitch party. She’ll be making you laugh as sells the famous Tupperware plastic storage containers. Part performance art, part product pitch meeting, Dixie’s Tupperware Party Houston bridges entertainment and commerce (Hint: Dixie’s not real, but the show’s Tupperware sales have earned Dixie a spot in the illustrious “#1 Tupperware Seller in the World” Club).
But you won’t be going for the plastic ware. Instead, you’ll be on the edge of your seat as Dixie relates colorful accounts of her start in Alabama, her three kids Wynona, Dwayne, and Absorbine, Jr., and her travels and travails.
NBC’s Today Show said this is “Not your grandmother’s Tupperware Party,” most likely on account of the adult-themed and non-conventional uses Dixie has come up with for these plastic products that seal with a burp. There will be free giveaways and loads of the most up-to-date Tupperware products to purchase.

Is the show through Sunday, June 9, 2013? I ask because June 6 is a Thursday, and surely the show would run through the weekend?
