Clear Creek Community Theatre (CCCT) wraps up its Golden Anniversary Season with three diverse comedies sure to please its audiences. First up, "The Dixie Swim Club" follows the annual reunion of a college swim team over the course of 33 years. At their rented beachside cottage in North Carolina, Sheree, Vernadette, Jerri Neal, Dinah, and Lexie renew their friendship and share both funny and poignant moments in their lives. This comedy-drama by Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten, and Jesse Jones beautifully illustrates the enduring power of "teamwork". The "Dixie Swim Club" runs March 13-29.

Building on the successes of Made in Northampton 2014, Royal & Derngate's Artistic Director James Dacre today announced details of his second season: Made in Northampton 2015.
Introducing the season, Dacre said: "Our Made in Northampton 2015 season aims to reflect the energy and range synonymous with Royal & Derngate, staging classic stories in imaginative new ways and premiering stories that need to be told today. This new season of epic plays looks back to the 12th Century Northampton of King John and forward to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World of 2540. In the company of some of our largest ever casts, audiences will enter the Elizabethan garden of Peter Whelan's The Herbal Bed, the Brooklyn waterfront of Arthur Miller's The Hook, the terrifying Victorian world of Patrick Hamilton's Gaslight, the frozen land of Georgia Pritchett's The Snow Queen and the Parisian streets of Cyrano De Bergerac. But wherever and whenever these plays are set, they have been chosen or commissioned because I believe that each reflects and considers an experience of life in Britain today."
