Selby’s Lennox Community Theatre will stage its first post pandemic show on Oct. 7 with a production of The Sweet Delilah Swim Club.
The show will run three weekends, Oct 7 – 9, 13- 16 and 20 – 22. All evening shows will start at a new time – 7:30 p.m.
The Sunday shows are all matinees and, as usual, will start at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online (go to lennoxtheatre.ca/tickets) or with cash at the door.
While the name of the play has been changed by the authors, this is the same play that the theatre was scheduled to put on when COVID shut the world down three days prior to opening. Director Andy Palmer notes that rehearsals are going very well and the cast is very excited to be able to finally put this production on the stage.
The play chronicles the lives of five women who met in their college years, when they all became members of the “Pemberton College” swim team. On graduation, they pledged to keep in touch with each other by renting a cottage – on the outer banks in North Carolina – for one weekend each year. In the play we visit them four times across a thirty-year time span. This fun-loving ensemble walks us through the hilarious, touching, surprising and occasionally sad tapestries that make up their lives both individually and as a group.
The Sweet Delilah Swim Club is a beautifully crafted script, deftly acted by a wonderful cast including, Jane Adams-Roy, Diane Talas, Jo-Ann Smith, Jackie Stuive and Abigael Roy.
