Need a little laughter in your life? Enjoy the hilariously funny Dixie Swim Club at the Brock Performing Arts Center beginning Friday, March 9th at 7 p.m.
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 focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.
Sheree, the spunky team captain, desperately tries to maintain her organized and ‘perfect’ life and continues to be the group’s leader. Dinah, the wise-cracking overachiever, is a career dynamo, but her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her personal life. Lexie, pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible. She enjoys being married – over and over and over again. The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette, acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over life, has decided just to give in and embrace the chaos. And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise. 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. When fate throws a wrench into one of their lives, these friends, proving the enduring power of ‘teamwork,’ round their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction.
The Dixie Swim Club is the story of these five unforgettable women—a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever, produced by Davie County Arts Council’s Brock Players.

“SHEREE” – Bobbi Eschenbach
