Dixie Swim Club- September 19-21

Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives. THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. Directed by Mary Tuck, and featuring an AllStar local cast, THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB is the story of these five unforgettable women—a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever…
