Not Your Mamma's Tupperware Party

By Guest Blogger

tupperware party Do you need a laugh? Or are you an avid fan of all things tupperware and other storage containers? If you answered yes to either question, then have I got a show for you: Dixie’s Tupperware Party, coming to Merrimack Hall on January 23-25, 2014.

Dixie’s Tupperware Party

Before you tune me out and say “seriously, a show about tupperware?” hear me out, because this is NOT your mamma’s tupperware party! Unless your mamma is a saucy redhead who says things like: dixie's tupperware party in huntsville, al “To all my Australian – I hear it’s hotter than a pricey hooker’s ass. Stay cool and suck on plenty of ice. And drink booze – it helps hydration.”

That certainly isn’t how MY mamma talks. But if Dixie Longate is one thing, it is entertaining! And let me tell you: this lady has her spunky and sassy meter turned ALL the way up, and I mean this in the best of ways.

Note: if you are offended by language of the PG-13/R rated variety, this is probably not the show for you. While I find Dixie hilarious (having seen her show before), those who are easily shocked may not be quite as entertained. Not sure if Dixie’s Tupperware Party is for you? Visit the show’s website to check out their videos.

Dixie’s Story

Just how does a sassy redhead selling tupperware end up with their own one person show? According to Dixie, her tupperware parties got the attention of a theater producer in the Big Apple (NYC). tupperwareNext thing you know, she’s got a show off-Broadway! In 2008, Dixie’s Tupperware Party was even nominated for a Drama Desk Award, a pretty big deal in the New York City Theatre world.

There IS Tupperware

In case you’re curious, you can actually buy tupperware at the show! Can’t make it to the show but want to check out Dixie’s wares? Visit her online store. (yes she’s SERIOUSLY legit!!) [spacer size=”0″]

Amazing Marketing

As a marketer myself I always appreciate a good marketing campaign and it is easy to see how Dixie became the #1 Tupperware seller in the U.S. & Canada. Here is one example of her selling techniques:
