Another laugh-a-minute comedy from the Jones, Hope & Wooten team ...

Honky Tonk Hissy Fit is a whole heap of hilarity with a whole lot of heart

A stand-alone play in its own right, it's the third comedy in the trilogy that began with Doublewide, Texas and continued with A Doublewide, Texas Christmas

In this rollicking, hilarious comedy, the gang is back and life in their tiny town has gotten crazier than ever

Things seem to be looking up - the population has grown to seventeen mobile homes and now there's a weekend farmers’ market

But the rug is pulled out from under the residents yet again

It seems their vacation rental trailer has drawn unwanted attention from a mega-corporation in Austin

Suddenly the corporation is interested in Doublewide

Waaaay too interested

Mayor Joveeta Crumpler is the only one suspicious enough to sound the alarm

But no one is listening

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

Caprice is also hell-bent on keeping her neighbor and rival, Big Ethel Satterwhite, from horning in on her domain - The Stagger Inn Bar

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

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

And as the danger to the town grows, Joveeta can’t even count on the usually reliable and sweet health fanatic Lark Barken

Why?

Because she’s currently under the spell of a demon she’s only recently discovered - caffeine!

But as the tentacles of the Corporation envelop them all, can the citizens of this little Texas town put aside their problems and unite behind Joveeta to fight “the big guys” ?

By the triumphant finale you'll be throwing fits of laughter that’ll make your sides ache
