Dixie Swim Club

Presented by the Sherman Community Players...

Five southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their

college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge their 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. "The Dixie Swim Club" focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. 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, and aging) that life flings at them.

Often referred to as the Steel Magnolias of our time, The Dixie Swim Club is one of the more popular all female cast shows being produced around the country. 

Written by Jones, Hope, and Wooten, this trio has written dozens of plays that are geared towards a southern audience, Southern Hospitality and Red Velvet Cakes Wars to name a few.  They also are responsible for the long-running hit television show The Golden Girls.   The play features the acting talents of:  Allison Minton, GayNell Doshier, Lisa Avila, Jessica Adams, and Morgan Morgan.

“We are also really putting a lot of extra work and detail into the overall production, not only do we have a great cast for this show, but Webster Crocker has designed a terrifically detailed set," remarked Anthony Nelson, Artistic Director of SCP.  "We are also collaborating with local Sherman artist Darrah Dunn who is handling the set dressing for the play.  He has been working closely with Knight’s Furniture and Daresa Sofey Home Design Studio in downtown Sherman.  They will be furnishing the set; which is a huge opportunity for the SCP Main Stage, in having local business directly involved with the production.”

Performances begin on April 12th and run thru April 28th at the Finley Theater in Sherman, TX.  Evening performances begin at 8pm, Sunday matinees begin at 2 pm.
