In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by chance and decide it’s high time to lend a supporting word to one another over a weekly gab fab they call the Savannah Sipping Society.
Randa, played by Sherri Metz, is a perfectionist and workaholic, who is struggling to cope with a surprise career derailment that, unfortunately, reveals that she has no life and no idea how to get one.
Beth DeRousie takes on the role of Dot, who is reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss of their plans for an idyllic retirement. Dot faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch—and all alone.
Earthy and boisterous Marlafaye, played by Beverly Murtha, is a good ol’ Texas gal, has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin’ husband to a twenty-three-year-old dental hygienist. The strength of her desire to establish a new life is equaled only by her desire to wreak a righteous revenge on her ex.
Also new to town, Jinx, a spunky ball of fire offers her services as a much-needed life coach for these women. However, blinded by her determination and efforts to get their lives on track, she over-looks the fact that she’s the one most in need of sage advice. Gina Mazzoli Wentworth brings Jinx to life in this production.
Together, the sipping society members discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live life to its fullest—and most importantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends.
The Frances Marion Brown Stage at the Oswego Players will sparkle this coming April as these four stellar actresses create comedy magic in their roles for this year’s season opener.
