Dixie Swim Club</em>, a heartwarming comedy about the power of
friendship by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wooten, 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. <em>The Dixie Swim Club</em> 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'.</p>

style="margin: 15px; font-family: georgia,serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">Sheree
(played by 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. </p>

written award winning plays and television episodes, and Jamie Wooten,
who spent many years as writer/producer for <em>The Golden Girls</em>.
Under the direction of Chagrin Valley Little Theatre veteran Barbara L.
Rhoades, <em>The Dixie Swim Club</em> is a poignant and surprising
comedy that's sure to warm audiences' hearts like a seaside holiday. </p>
