THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB Begins 6/16 at Barter Theatre
Each year, five truly unforgettable southern women spend a long weekend together to recharge the friendships they first made on their college swim team. For a couple of days, they get away to dish about husbands, children, jobs and all the everyday stresses of life.
Nicholas Piper, who will direct "The Dixie Swim Club" said, "This show reminds us about the best part of life-long friendships-no matter what the problem, in the end, there is always laughter!"
This fun and lighthearted production will feature some of Barter Theatre's most popular leading-ladies all together on the same stage. Carrie Smith Lewis, who will appear as Jeri Neal McFeeley, said, "If the show is anything like rehearsal, it will be a hoot! The characters in 'The Dixie Swim Club' are women of the South. They love to get together and have a good time. It is so much fun to embrace my heritage with Jeri Neal."
The cast of "The Dixie Swim Club" will also include Hannah Ingram, Tricia Matthews, Paris Bradstreet and Mary Lucy Bivins. Bivins said, "My character is a Carolina girl and so am I. I have life-long friendships from 'home' and it's fun to tell a story about that."
"The Dixie Swim Club" is made possible by the corporate sponsorship of Virginia Highlands Small Business Incubator and Oakmont at Gordon Park. Barter Theatre is funded in part by The Virginia Commission for the Arts and The National Endowment for the Arts.
