The French Art Colony’s Riverby Theatre Guild production of “The Dixie Swim Club” will take the stage this month, with performances on February 17th, February 18th and February 24th in the RTG Studio on Court Street.
The comedy with a touch of southern charm, directed by Michelle Miller, takes the audience on a journey of life and friendship. Each August, college friends Lexie (Laura Miller), Jeri Neal (Lucia Jones), Dinah (Mariah Hampton), Sheree (Cassie Walker) and Vernadette (Elaine Wheeler) meet for one weekend in August, in a small beachside cottage, to share a weekend of fun and laughter, free of distractions. The audience is invited to join them as they catch up, laugh and help each other through life’s trials and tribulations. From ex-husbands and plastic surgery to life’s many up and downs, these five friends are there to talk each other through it all. The “Dixie Swim Club is a funny testament to the enduring power of friendship. If you enjoyed, "Designing Women", "The Golden Girls", and "Steel Magnolias"...you will love RTG's, "The Dixie Swim Club".
