Mother Trucker at Seaside REP March 28 - April 20

Mother Trucker, an on-the-road musical written by David Wayne Reed hits Seaside this Spring.  The story is the eastbound and lowdown tale of a widow, Ruby Lee Jenkins (Meghan Bode), and her son, Teddy Bear (Alan Daugherty), grappling with a new life on the road after the untimely trucking death of her husband.  It is both an homage and parody to the trucker movies of yore. Ruby drives her pink Peterbilt through a landscape dotted with country crooners, sexy hitchhikers, rig jockeys, Johnny Law and Jesus in pursuit of Alabama No-No Juice.
