An hilarious, mostly female, fast-paced comedy ...
The inhabitants of one of the smallest trailer parks in Texas - four doublewides and a shed - are thrown for a loop when they realize the nearby town of Tugaloo is determined to annex them
And it's not as if they don't already have enough to deal with...
Joveeta Crumpler has had it up to here, having been passed over again for a promotion at work
On top of this, she has an ongoing battle to keep her feisty mother, Caprice, out of the local bar
She also worries that her good-ol'-boy brother, Baby Crumpler, is taking his participation in a woman-less beauty pageant way too seriously
Joveeta's big-hearted best friend, Georgia Dean Rudd, is struggling to keep her diner and finances afloat
But she just can't curb her impulse to take in every stray cat, possum, and armadillo that wanders by
Then there's Big Ethel Satterwhite, who's nobody's fool
But tough as she is, she's continually frustrated by her clients at Stairway To Heaven Retirement Village
As well as her mule-headed husband, O.C., who shows far more affection for his BarcaLounger than he does for her
And all the residents are plagued by Haywood Sloggett from across the road, who loathes their "trailer-trash" ways
Especially their all-year life-size illuminated nativity scene
But these friends, enemies, and neighbors finally realize they'll have to work together to defeat the encroaching annexation if they and their way of life have a snowball's chance to survive being swallowed up by "the big guys"
The rollicking mayhem of this flat-out funny Jones Hope Wooten comedy escalates as the residents attempt to secede from Texas, discover a traitor in their midst, and turn the tables in a surprising and side-splitting finale
So grab your Stetson and come on over to Doublewide, Texas, where life is double the fun, double the joy, and where audiences double over with laughter!
