Crane Point Museum in Marathon Florida Performs Mother Truckers

Mother Truckers hits the road in Florida with the Crane Point Museum and the audience laughs all the way to “Rosie Mae’s Truck Stop” where they “eat here and get gas.”

Loretta Geotis of Crane Point shared her input on what she and her group did:

“I had the pleasure of working with J&G Unlimited in creating a fundraising project for my organization.  I decided to have a dinner and a play.  I had read “Mother Truckers” a few years prior while working as Executive Director at a community theatre.  I remembered the script and decided to use it for my event.  The script is well-written and very funny and has a small cast which was a necessity in my case.

I was able to enhance the story by adding funny signs and props including a sign that said “Rosie Mae’s Truck Stop – Eat Here and Get Gas.”  I created a “truck stop” environment with checked tablecloths and toy trucks and I-95 signs incorporated into the centerpieces.  My truck was carefully constructed and lit up which added to the ambiance.

The PressPlay CD sound track [provided by J&G with materials] finished off a great product and the audience was surprised at the first “truck engine” sounds and was still laughing when the toilet flushed for the final time.  The truck itself got an applause.

My audience loved it from beginning to end.  Judith at J&G was fun to work with and made the whole process worthwhile. Thank you J&G and keep writing those terrific scripts!”

As a result of the Crane Point production, J&G is receiving calls from other states as far north as New York, wanting Mother Truckers because they have been hearing from friends and theatre professionals that it is an extremely funny ride for audiences!

Thank you Loretta, you and your entire cast and crew.  What a magnificent job you’ve done!
