It is an Absurdist drama that would have a hard time attracting a general audience. Nevertheless, it is a mesmerizing piece of drama with some unique facets that make it an engaging drama for enthusiasts of theatre. First produced in 2005, it's defining characteristic is the use of 'functioning robots' or at least the semblance of such.

Dixie's Tupperware Party written by and starring Dixie Longate and directed by Patrick Richwood will be on stage at Mayo Performing Arts Center on Saturday, October 7th.
