Miss Caledonia

written and performed by Melody A. Johnson
musical accompaniment and original score by Alison Porter
directed by Rick Roberts and Aaron Willis

produced by Lunkamud in association with Tarragon Theatre

Desperate to escape the stall-cleaning, hay-baling drudgery of 1950s life on Rural Route 2, Peggy Ann Douglas dreams of becoming a movie star. Can she sing, twirl and pivot her way into the hearts of the pageant judges to set her on her path? A 2010 SummerWorks hit.

The multi-talented Melody Johnson is well-known to Tarragon audiences — both as an actor and a writer — appearing in In the Next Room or the vibrator play this past season, winning a 2003 Dora Award for her performance in Little Mercy’s First Murder and premiering her musical Mimi, co-written with Rick Roberts and Allen Cole, in 2009.

Johnson's one-woman play displays all the old-fashioned virtues that a pageant contestant ideally should: talent, inner beauty and especially charm. Forget the in-your-face crassness of Honey Boo Boo; here's a winning show" The Globe and Mail
