Meet the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, six women who decide to shake up their lives. Hilarity abounds in this rollicking Southern comedy that takes place in SPA-DEE-DAH!, an abandoned church-turned-day-spa where this group of friends gathers every Friday afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious, and if they're going to change their lives and achieve their dreams, they have to get on it now! But Sugar Lee, their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated.

"This show is so funny! We are having a wonderful time rehearsing," said Wendy Ferrell, the show's director. "While the cast is working very hard, they are also doing a lot of laughing! The further we get into the process, the more they bond and the characters start to come alive. This is absolutely a must see!"
