DIXIE LONGATE (Star) Just a simple girl from Mobile, Alabama, I never would have thought that stepping on a very small stage at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival would have catapulted me out of the living room and onto the world stage. I am most known for “Dixie’s Tupperware Party” which went from the Fringe to an off-Broadway production at the Ars Nova Theater in 2007 and garnered the prestigious Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. I have gone on to do the show in Scotland, London, Australia and Canada as well as in cities all over these fruited plains.
And after all that traveling and all those hotel rooms and all those late night Jacuzzi, I have done more running around than a nudist couple stepping on a nest of yellow jackets. And I figured it was high time I shared some of them stories with all y’all. So I’m back to give you some learning, because like my Momma always says, “Even though vodka looks a whole lot like water, the end results are a hell of a lot different.” Trust me, I got a lot of learning to share. Enjoy the show. And thank you to Randy Weeks and John Ekeberg for answering the phone. Yea! Follow me on Facebook at: dixielongatefans
