TribLIVE: Spend an evening with Dixie Longate, and you'll never look at a Tupperware Cake Taker in the same way again.
Dixie, created and performed by Los Angeles actor Kris Andersson, is back at the CLO Cabaret burping bowls and slinging silicone in “Dixie's Tupperware Party.”

I am so confused right now... I clicked on this thinking it had to do with Dixie Cups... I don't even know what I was thinking. But it kind of made me want to go to a tupperware party which had never even crossed my mind before. So strange... I'm still a little confused with what this is... is it like an interactive theatre experience or a social one? It sounds like it would be a lot of fun (though I think if I were to go, I would need to be a year older... 20 year old problems) But I will admit, when I saw the word "Tupperware" in the title I got really excited. I love tupperware and the fact that it stores food! My favorite kind is the glass tupperware that is microwave safe because, well let's face it, I'm kind of a health freak and I don't like heating things up in plastic because of the chemicals... Unfortunately, here in college I don't have money so I don't really have a choice... I wonder what kind of tupperware they have at the show...
I heard about this show directly from the artistic director of the pittsburgh clo while having dinner with him, and I dont think this article does it justice. This article is rather traditional and drab and doesnt communicate the genius of the idea behind the show and the backstory very well. I also think this is another example of a show that has a very interesting backstory and premise but is cursed with a rather terrible title. Yes, the title describes what the show is, but if I hadn't heard about the show from mark, I dont think I would have been interested in the slightest
I had heard of this show before, but I'm now more confused than I was before. It could be that the article had too many puns in it which flew right over my head. Either way, the show sounds like a lot of fun when in the right mindset. It's such an odd sounding show, that I'm not sure how long it will run. Hopefully it's not as terrible as I think it will be so that I will have time to see it.
Honestly, I would probably not see this show. It sounds like theatrical advertisement. Do people actually pay to see a two-hour infomercial? To be honest, it sounds like a silly concept. Seeing the "recommended for adult audiences" tagline makes me think that it's only funny once everyone is sufficiently drunk enough to think that this is quality theatre. Where is the message? What are we supposed to get after seeing this show? Tupperware is not a good enough answer. This is right up with dinner theatre, and at least you get dinner with that.
This article is absolutely terrible, but the show sounds like it might be interesting. I felt like the puns and the tone made the article impossible to read and understand. It also took away from the show and what they were trying to convey about it. I might be interested in what this show has to offer,but the article is off putting because i don't know if the author was trying to capture the to tone of the play in their writing.
