<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2"><em>The Dixie Swim Club</em> is a heartwarming comedy about
the power of friendship by Jessie Jones (<em>Kingdom Come</em>),
Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wooten (<em>Golden Girls)</em>. The play
focuses on five Southern women who met on their college swim team and
have set aside a long weekend every August to meet up at the same beach
cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to recharge their
relationships. Free from their husbands, children, and jobs, the ladies
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, during which life flings challenges at them, throws wrenches
into their plans, and helps them prove the enduring power of
'teamwork'. </font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Sheree (Jackie Cassara), the spunky team captain, desperately
tries to maintain her organized and 'perfect' life, and continues to be
the group's leader. Dinah (Chris White), the wise-cracking
overachiever, is a career dynamo, but her victories in the courtroom
are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her personal life. Lexie
(Denise Bernstein), the pampered and outspoken one, is determined to
hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible, and enjoys being
married - repeatedly. The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette (Kate
Tonti), acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, has
decided to just give in and embrace the chaos. And sweet,
eager-to-please Jeri Neal (Jenny Barrett) experiences a late entry into
motherhood that takes them all by surprise.</font></p>
