The Old Opera House has announced the finalists for the Old Opera House's 11th Annual New Voice Play Festival.  

Directed by Steven Brewer and debuting on the Old Opera House stage, The Savannah Sipping Society is a hysterical and sentimental show about the relationship between four women, formed over an impromptu happy hour.

Four Southern women are drawn together by Fate-and an impromptu happy hour-and decide it's time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they've lost through the years. Randa, a perfectionist, has no life and no idea how to get one. Dot, still reeling from her husband's demise, faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life all alone. Boisterous Marlafaye has come to town in the wake of losing her husband to a 23-year-old dental hygienist. Also new to town, Jinx, who offers her services as a life coach for these women.
