Description:
The Village Theatre Guild's final show of our 60th anniversary season is the comedy "The Sweet Delilah Swim Club" by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. Auditions for the 5 female roles will be Sunday, March 17 and Tuesday, March 19 at 7 PM at VTG. The play covers the friendship of 5 women who were on their college swim team. Every year they set aside husbands, kids, and jobs and reunite at a charming North Carolina beach house to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives.
Actors will be portraying their characters over a period of 33 years (from the ages of mid-40s to 70s.) If you can act those ages convincingly, c'mon out!
Characters:
SHEREE HOLLINGER: the perennial team captain, is practical, supportive and a fount of boundless energy. Never without her to-do lists or Pocket Scheduler, her tendency to be hyper-organized occasionally drives her friends a bit crazy. She's the eternal tomboy, a health nut and an all-American mom who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her family.
DINAH GRAYSON: the wise-cracking cynic of the group, has fought her way to the top and relishes the view. A lawyer in the biggest and most prestigious law firm in Atlanta, Dinah excels at everything... except romance. Armed with a dry martini and even drier sense of humor, Dinah seldom reveals her softer side as she tackles life head-on.
LEXIE RICHARDS: from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is the delightfully vain, youth-obsessed event planner for a chain of four-star hotels. She has never shied away from the occasional nip or tuck and keeps her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial. Always one to revel in her status as a man-magnet, Lexie can be counted on to share wild and hilarious tales of her romantic exploits.
JERI NEAL MCFEELY: is the ditzy ray of sunshine of the group. She's perky and naïve and always sees the positive side of everything. Having been a nun. For many years, Jeri Neal has been protected from life's seamier side. Even though she appears to be predictable on the surface, Jeri Neal, recently relocated to Roanoke, Virginia, continually makes life choices that surprise and amaze her friends.
VERNADETTE SIMMS: is a hard luck case if there ever was one. Marriage and motherhood came shortly after college, a dark cloud has hovered above her ever since. A public school teacher, with limited finances and a problematic home life. In Spivey's Corner, North Carolina, Vernadette is self-deprecating by necessity. She faces her tribulations with gallows humor and the unwavering support of these lifelong friends.
