COMEDY. Rhonda has a nice doublewide trailer that smells faintly of a dead skunk and a husband obsessed with Christmas lights. Rhonda knows she’s blessed, but there’s just one thing she’s sore about: she’s never won anything. To cheer her up, Rhonda’s two sisters, Dronda and Fonda, encourage her to enter a chili cook-off. When the sisters accidentally run over an armadillo, it’s exactly what Rhonda needs to win…a gimmick! Meanwhile, Rhonda’s husband Zeke and Fonda’s UFO-hunting boyfriend are busy setting up Christmas lights in April so Zeke can get a head start over his neighbors and win the town’s contest for best Christmas light display. But it turns out the light display is so bright it can be seen from outer space and attracts some unexpected visitors, which is either going to make history or set off a galactic war! Audiences will love this play’s crazy characters and madcap mayhem.
