Aging, friendship, laughter and love all in one night. Don't miss it!
As part of the Valhalla Arts, Music, and Theatre Festival, The Tahoe Tallac Association and 5th Age productions present the hilarious comedy The Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten at the Boathouse Theatre, July 7-9, 14-16 at 8:00pm and July 10,17 at 2:00pm.
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.
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. 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 this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction. The Dixie Swim Club is a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.
The cast includes Boathouse favorites: Diana Arington Evans, (Dangerous Liaisons, The Dining Room, Steel Magnolias) Ginger Nicolay Davis, (The Dining Room, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress), plus Carson Valley favorites Ann Swallow, (Talking With, Rabbit Hole), Teri Levy (Talking With, Rabbit Hole) and Amy Sando (Rabbit Hole, Asst. Director). The production is directed by David Hamilton with Dave Anderson doing set design and technical direction.
