In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South is seldom tidy and always hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father’s funeral, the Turpins’ other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion. Amid the chaos of rising funeral costs, a pack of no‐neck monster kids, possible infidelity in the family car and junk food binges, the Turpins find comfort in their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the funeral.
Valley Performing Arts is proud to present this season‐opening comedy full of heart and laughter. Co‐ written by one of the screen writers of NBC’s The Golden Girls, this play is sure to tickle your funny bone and more. Come join the FUN with VPA!
