Girlfriends, They serve as a cheering section when things are going well and are 
the first to listen in times of trouble --- Sure there may be times of 
discontent, but underneath it all, they’ll stand by you, in good times and bad.
Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college 
swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those 
relationships.  Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach 
cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each 
other’s lives.  The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans 
a period of thirty-three years.
Sheree (JoAnna Lynn Bratt) the spunky team captain, desperately tries to 
maintain her organized and ‘perfect’ life, and continues to be the group’s 
leader.
Dinah (Karen Johnston) the wisecracking overachiever, is a career dynamo.  But 
her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her 
personal life.
Lexie (Tari Lyn Bergoine) pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to 
her looks and youth as long as possible.  She enjoys being married – over and 
over again.  

The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette (Sue Jeromson) acutely aware of the 
dark cloud over her life, has decided to just give in and embrace the chaos.
And sweet, eager to please Jeri Neal (Tina Thompkins) experiences a late entry 
into motherhood that takes them all by surprise.  

As their lives pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through 
advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges that life flings at 
them.  And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives in the second act, 
these friends, proving the enduring power  of ‘teamwork’.  Rally ‘round their 
own with the strength and love that takes the comedy in a poignant and 
surprising direction.  The Dixie Swim Club is the story of these five 
unforgettable women – a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that 
last forever.
Director, Marc C. Howard selected this cast with the upmost care and came up 
with a winning combination.  These ladies have taken on their characters and 
given them life in a very real sense.  The audience  is bound to become immersed 
in their lives and laugh and cry with them until the curtain falls.  A theatre 
night not to be missed particularly by women – women of any age.
