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.

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.
