Play Title:Billy Jean, Armadillo Queen
Runtime:91-120 minutes
Synopsis:BILLY JEAN, ARMADILLO QUEEN

A 1980’s romantic comedy about Marla, a recently divorced, destitute college graduate who returns to her dysfunctional childhood home, and gains employment as a waitress in a character theme restaurant. Marla creates her alter ego, Billy Jean, Armadillo Queen, who is a gregarious Southern diner waitress and Armadillo Queen who helps Marla reach her personal and financial goals.

Creating havoc along the way are jealous character waiters, her soul mate’s girlfriend, and an evil spirit. Encouraging Marla are other character waiters, her soul mate, and a guardian angel. This play has several strong characters, an outlandish cast, and plenty of lime light.

Billy Jean, Armadillo Queen is a comedy filled with humor, hope, pain, and promise. Anyone who has overcome self doubt or family dysfunction, or who has pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, will feel a part of this memorable play.
