Down Home USA

“Welcome to Down Home USA! We’re the town where when you gotta come here, we gotta take you in.” And so it begins… The Audience finds themselves transformed into a group of social anthropologists who have arrived “down home” to explore the possibility of establishing a social biodiversity lab to study the folkways of the great American people.

Incorporating characters created by Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce and John Henry Faulk, Timothy Patrick Miller, has written an evening of contemporary comedy laced with sharp political commentary about the current state of affairs in our country.

A sample of outrageous characters includes Cletus and JD over at the Chat ‘n Chew Café; the terribly independent-minded Ormus Growler, who once married Miz Chastity Small and honeymooned “by hisself all the way over to Paris, France”; the three hundred pound Thurman Viola who invented the Do It Yerself Baptismal machine. And notably, Long Louis Small who ran the county Cotton Gin…till he fell in and “ginned hisself into a bale of long staple cotton which led to the biggest funeral in years.

Appropriate for audiences over 12.
