DIXIE MANN
(Dotty Otley / Mrs. Clackett) If you think Dixie’s performance in Noises Off is good, you should see the commercial work she did with Post Malone. Except, you can’t because 0% of her footage made it to the final cut. But man, was it good. Runner up performances include 10

Miss Trunchbull (Matilda), and Mrs. Wormwood (Matilda), an Ancestor (The Addams Family). Not to mention her stand up comedy and burlesque shows that her agent at McCarty says won’t get her anywhere. But jokes on the agent, she’s made tens of dollars off of those shows. Dixie wants to give a special shoutout to her husband and four children. Without them, performing would actually be more possible but life would be less meaningful. So, thanks for understanding when mama leaves the house. Dixie is incredibly thankful to the cast, crew, production manager and director who have brought this hilarious production to life! "A round of sardines for everyone!"
