Dixie Swim Club
July 8, 9, 10 - 7:00 pm
July 11 - 2:00 pm
Come enjoy the regional premiere of The Dixie Swim Club at The Cumberland Arts Center. Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge their friendships. The play focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.
Sheree, played by Barb Lynch, is the spunky team captain, who desperately tries to maintain her organized and 'perfect' life, and continues to be the groups leader.
Dinah (Val Sutherland), the wise-cracking overachiever, is a career dynamo.
Lexie (Sarah Lundquist), pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible.
The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette (Sharai Hefty), 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 (Diane Thorp) experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise.
As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them. "The Dixie Swim Club" is the story of these five unforgettable women - a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.
The play is directed by Travis Thorp and Ann Ethen. Showtime will be 7 PM on Thursday through Saturday, July 8-10, with a 2PM matinee on Sunday, July 11. Tickets will be $8 and available at Peter and Annies.
Auditions for Cumberland Rutabaga Play (June 5th, June 8th)
Cumberland ETC will be holding auditions for the Rutabaga play "The Man with the Pointed Toes" on Saturday, June 5 from 9-11 AM, and on Tuesday June 8, 7-8:30 PM.
A Texas oil millionaire hires a tutor so he can get some culture to impress his big city girl. The cast includes six male and two female roles. High School and older actors are welcome, and there are also roles for older men.

We will also be looking for tech people for this show.
