THE SAVANNAH SIPPING SOCIETY by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten and directed by Don Frimming centers on four Southern women who all need to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines. The women are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—and decide it is high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years. Over the course of six months filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jump start their new lives.
Performance dates are May 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19 & 20. All shows are at 8PM, except Thursday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 3 PM.

The Sunset Players announces auditions for their summer musical, the regional community theater premier of THE TOXIC AVENGER.
March 12 and 13, 7-9pm
Directed by Jerry Yearout, Music Director Allen Lindsey
Show dates are July 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, and 22nd.
Based on Lloyd Kaufman’s cult film and winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, The Toxic Avenger is a charming love story and laugh-out-loud musical that has it all: an unlikely hero, his beautiful girlfriend, a corrupt New Jersey mayor and two guys who play… well, everyone else … bullies, mobsters, old ladies and stiletto-wearing back up singers. With book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music and lyrics by David Bryan, the show also features the most memorable and unbelievable duet you’ll ever see on any stage.
Melvin Ferd, the Third, wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the mayor’s bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey’s first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He’s out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town.
It’s a toxic love story with an environmental twist! The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house. Featuring a wailin’ rock score, this comical musical has something for everyone to enjoy.
