But as the tentacles of the corporation envelope them all, can the citizens of this little Texas town put aside their problems and unite behind Joveeta to fight “the big guys” and turn the tide in Doublewide? A heap of hilarity with a whole lot of heart-and a stand-alone play in its own right-HONKY TONK HISSY FIT is the third comedy in the trilogy that begins with Doublewide, Texas and continues with A Doublewide, Texas Christmas. And as the danger to the town grows, Joveeta can’t even count on the usually reliable and sweet health fanatic Lark Barken-because she’s currently under the spell of a demon she’s only recently discovered: caffeine. But Baby’s got as much chance of winning as Georgia Dean Rudd has of not jinxing her relationship with Nash Sloggett-she’s twisting herself into knots trying to dodge his constant marriage proposals. Big Ethel has her hands full trying to teach the town’s good-ol’-boy police chief, Baby Crumpler, how to dirty-dance for a countywide competition. Caprice is also hell-bent on keeping her neighbor and rival, Big Ethel Satterwhite, from horning in on her domain-the Stagger Inn bar. Her mother, Caprice, is too self-involved with her “career” as a local celebrity to sense the growing threat, or to even realize that grumpy old Haywood Sloggett is increasingly drawn to her-and Sloggett is fighting those romantic feelings tooth and nail. Mayor Joveeta Crumpler is the only one suspicious enough to sound the alarm, but no one is listening. Suddenly the corporation is interested in Doublewide. It seems their vacation rental trailer has drawn unwanted attention from a mega-corporation in Austin. We embrace diversity and ‘otherness.’ We promote the economic value of performing arts.In this rollicking, hilarious comedy, the Doublewide, Texas, gang is back and life in their tiny town has gotten crazier than ever! Just when things are looking up-the population has grown to seventeen mobile homes and a weekend farmers’ market-the rug is pulled out from under the residents yet again. We promote collaboration among performing arts groups. We mentor youth involvement in performing arts. How We Do It We build engaged and sustainable audiences. –The Albuquerque Theatre Guild Board of Directors OUR MISSION The Albuquerque Theatre Guild celebrates and promotes the value of the performing arts community in the greater Albuquerque area. “It’s so nice to have you back where you belong.” Most importantly, we invite you back to the theatre. We invite you to support our member organizations by buying a ticket, donating time or financial resources, and encouraging discussion on the importance of theatre in your life. We invite you to check out this issue of the Spotlight and see what’s happening. The promotional card will soon be popping up at our member organization locations, so be sure to pick one up during your next theatre outing. This is where the current issue of the digital Spotlight can be found. We have created a promotional card, including QR code, which directs the user to our home page. The most comprehensive and concise informational resource of our member organizations is the digital Spotlight, which now comes out on a quarterly basis. It is crucial to help spread the word and make sure our audiences know that live theatre is back. This was a powerful example of what our theatre community can be – a cross-collaborative, synergistic community striving to promote and support one another.
Multiple organizations were represented at the event, either through direct participation in staffing or by providing marketing materials to help promote their programming.
This was our first public promotional event since the start of the pandemic. With this in mind, the Albuquerque Theatre Guild participated in a community event intended to help support our member organizations. Some might find it surprising, but for every dollar spent on ticket sales, an additional $1.50 is generated in the local economy (varies by market). Theatre can reflect the history of the world, both macro and micro and it has the power to be a living time capsule. It was an opportunity to reflect on the impact that the performing arts has on the cultural and economic health of a society. On March 27, we celebrated World Theatre Day. FOURTH WALL: An imaginary wall between the cast and audience which completes the area in which a piece is set.Ī MESSAGE FROM THE ALBUQUERQUE THEATRE GUILD BOARD
