Vintage Theatre presents

the Regional Premiere of

The Dixie Swim Club

by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten
Directed by Rob Kramer

Vintage Theatre presents the Regional Premiere of The Dixie Swim Club, April 1 through May 1 at Vintage Theatre, 2119 East 17th Ave in Denver. This is the story of five unforgettable women; free from husbands, kids and jobs, five life-long friends meet every August at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch-up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives. As time passes, their lives unfold and the women increasingly rely on one another to get through the challenges that life flings at them.  The Dixie Swim Club is a hilarious and touching comedy of friendships that last forever.
 
The cast includes Mary Beth Gudewicz (Sheree), Julie Hansen (Lexi), Sarah MacMillan (Dinah), Michelle Grimes (Vernadette) and Veronica Lee as Jeri Neal. Cindy Laudadio-Hill (US Vernadette) performs select dates.
