Take cover! Here comes Dotty Parsons in the hilarious Trailer Court comedy Tornado Magnet

Darrin Hagen has written an affectionate and fun-filled salute to trailer court women, which has sold-out in venues across Canada. "No cupboard will go unopened, no Lazy Susan will go unspun, no Niagara Falls souvenir cushion will go unturned" in this funny and heartwarming macaroni-and-cheese mission to end "mobile home-ophobia" once and for all.

Tornado Magnet is a one-woman show featuring Karen Johnson-Diamond as Dotty Parsons and is directed by Calgary International Children's Festival Artistic Director Kate Newby. Dotty's trailer court life is lovingly recreated by designers Terry Middleton and Deitra Kalyn, with stage-management by Rikki Schlosser and Alec McCauley. Tornado Magnet runs February 23 to March 21, Monday to Saturday at 12:10pm with 'Happy Hour' performances Friday at 6:10pm.
