<h1>LAST CHANCE TRAILER PARK</h1>
May 10 and 11 at 7pm May 12 at 2pm
1400 Blvd. of the Arts, Suite 200, Sarasota, FL 34236
In the heart of Georgia lies the Last Chance Trailer Park, a quaint yet weathered community overseen by the kind-hearted owner, CC. Together with her lifelong companions Ginny and George, they observe the ebb and flow of life with a wry sense of humor and a drink in hand.
Amidst the trailers and the Georgia heat, stories unravel. The gambler, always chasing the next big win, finds himself unable to pay rent yet again, while a struggling millennial grapples with mounting debts. Meanwhile, a perpetually pregnant mother and her devoted partner wrestle with a secret that threatens to unravel their already fragile stability.
In the midst of these trials, the residents of Last Chance Trailer Park find solace and escape in their own unique ways. Some delve into the realm of fantasy, while others cling tightly to reality. But it’s the teens, with their boundless imagination and an enchanting connection to a seemingly ordinary scarecrow, who discover the true magic hidden within their community.
As tensions rise and secrets simmer, it takes the bonds of family, the comfort of tradition, the support of friends, and an unexpected tornado to shake things up and reveal the key to unlocking the treasure that could solve CC’s financial woes.
Through laughter and tears, setbacks and triumphs, Last Chance Trailer Park becomes not just a place to live, but a symbol of resilience, hope, and the enduring power of community.
Ticket price: $15

Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center

<a href="https://timgrimm.com/bio#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tim Grimm</a> is a bit of a Renaissance man in the performing arts world, forging a rich and varied career that blends his love of songwriting, travel, and acting in theatre, film and television. For most of his 25-year career as a storytelling balladeer in the tradition of John Prine, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan, Tim has written primarily about community, history, family, and social issues – often framed by his strong sense of place and the many years he spent on the family farm he built in rural Indiana. His songs are filled with rural characters and landscapes, written and sung with vivid warmth and intimacy.
Tim’s new album, THE LITTLE IN-BETWEEN (March 2023), traces his travel between the hills of southern Indiana and the Oklahoma prairie – and his internal journey from a rich past to an unexpected future – using a first-person voice in every song to illuminate a deep inner territory that historically remained more submerged in his work.
Tim’s second-newest album, GONE was the #1 album on folk radio for 2021, and its title song was released as a single in October of 2020 and ended up the #1 most played song on Folk radio for the year.
With inventive vocal harmonies and songwriting, <a href="https://passerinemusic.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Passerine</a> offers a genre-bending take on traditional folk and bluegrass, as well as a repertoire of original songs that range from sweet ballads to the edgier side of contemporary Americana.
