Blue Ridge Community Theatre presents
The Dixie Swim Club May 29-31

Blue Ridge Community Theatre will present The Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten May 29-31.

The play tells the story of how five Southern women, whose friendships began on their college swim team, reunite every August at the beach for a girls’ weekend.

The comedy spans a period of 33 years. Sheree, the spunky team captain, tries to maintain her organized and “perfect” life. Dinah, the wisecracking overachiever, is an attorney with lots of personal frustrations. Lexie, the pampered and outspoken one, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible. Vernadette, 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 experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them by surprise.

“The Dixie Swim Club is the story of these five unforgettable women, a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever,” a BRCT spokesperson said.

The show stars Amy Beane, Cindy Brown, Kathy Cottrell, Shelia Deal and Kay Stacy. It is directed by Trimella Chaney and produced by Kathleen Rowell.

The play will be presented at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center on the campus of Appalachian State University. Show times are May 29 at 7:30 p.m., May 30 at 3 and 7:30 p.m., and May 31 at 3 p.m.

Tickets are $25 and include such delectable edibles as a biscuit bar. Tickets can be purchased at the Broyhill Inn, Boone Drug-Deerfield and online at www.brctnc.org.
