| March 25 – April 10 (Three witty weekends!) Southern-bred comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten Produced by Maureen Edick Directed by Al Edick A heart-warming, hilarious peek into the lives of six mature women who embrace the idea that it is never too late to be the people they were meant to be. Sugar Lee Thompkins, a woman ready to put her doomed marriage behind her and start fresh, buys an old church and turns it into Spa- Dee-Dah!, a day spa for the women of Eden Falls, Georgia. After the loss of a dear friend, the ladies realize if they're ever going to achieve their dreams, they have to get on it now—and do they ever! They rally together to overcome unexpected twists and turns to launch their new, improved lives. Jones, Hope, and Wooten—all from the Asheville area—are three of the most widely produced comedic playwrights in America, having collaborated to master the Southern comedy. They’ve written eight plays that have been produced over 1,100 times for more than 10,000 performances nationwide. “It’s good fun…clever…lots of zany content…much silliness and some pathos and injustice to keep the wheels rolling.”--Dallas-Fort Worth Pegasus News “What's it about? Laughing mostly, but there's enough mystery and drama thrown in to keep everyone happy...This play has a similar feel to [Steel Magnolias], but yet is completely different…its description as a “rollicking Southern comedy” seems pretty accurate.”--Dayton Examiner “A delightful barrage of witty one-liners…The audience never stopped laughing.”—Connecticut Citizen’s News Cast (in alphabetical order) Nita Mooney................................Claudia Carter Covington Bobby Dwayne Dillahunt.............Dan Dutterer Porter Padgett..............................David Gibbs Crystal Hart..................................Nita Porter Carlene Travis.............................June Stacy Sugar Lee Thompkins.................Celeste Thorington Bunny Sutherland........................Julie Vorus Mavis Flowers.............................Sandra Whitmore March 25th,* 26th (Friday & Saturday) at 8 PM (Doors open 7 PM) March 27th (Sunday) at 3 PM (Doors open 2 PM) April 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th (Fridays & Saturdays) at 8 PM (Doors open 7 PM) April 3rd, 10th (Sundays) at 3 PM (Doors open 2 PM) *Complimentary opening night reception after March 25th performance provided by Earthshine Mountain Lodge (Click here to visit their website!)
