As part of the Valhalla Arts, Music, and Theatre Festival, the Tahoe Tallac Association and 5th Age productions present the comedy “The Dixie Swim Club” by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten at the Boathouse Theatre, July 7-9, July 14-16 at 8pm and July 10 and July 17 at 2pm.

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 others lives.

As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them. And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives in the second act, these friends, proving the enduring power of “teamwork,” rally around their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction. “The Dixie Swim Club” is a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.

The cast includes: Diana Arrington Evans, Ginger Nicolay Davis, Ann Swallow, Teri Levy and Amy Sando.

The production is directed by David Hamilton with Dave Anderson doing set design and technical direction.

Tickets at $18 general, $15 seniors over 65/children under 18 and are available online or at the door. Due to adult situations, the production is not recommended for children under 13.

The Boathouse Theatre is located at the Tallac Historic Site located 2 miles past the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 89, just past Camp Richardson, on the lake side of Highway 89.
