Comedies about Southern women talking are a dime a dozen. Most audiences cling to Robert Harling's STEEL MAGNOLIAS, imbued with healthy doses of both comedy and drama, as the quintessential Southern women play. However, Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten's DIXIE SWIM CLUB may start giving Robert Harling some competition.

The Country Playhouse will present The Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Julie Wooten, on its Cerwinske main stage for three weekends only, March 8 - 23. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., with a Sunday matinee on March 17 at 2:00 p.m., plus a weeknight show on Thursday, March 21, at 7:30 p.m.

Halloween time is upon us, and Country Playhouse is offering audiences a spine-chilling dramatic version of Mary Shelley's classic horror tale FRANKENSTEIN. The play, penned by Victor Gialanella, met a tragic end in New York City when it flopped in 1981 after 29 previews and 1 performance. Under the direction of Philip L. Nichols, Jr. the script is brought to fascinating life, engaging the audience and entertaining them with one of the closest adaptations of the novel that I have ever seen.
