In this heartwarming and hilarious comedy, four Southern women—each at a crossroads in life—come together by chance and a spontaneous happy hour to reclaim the spark they’ve lost over the years. Randa, a meticulous workaholic, faces a career setback that forces her to confront the fact that her life is all work and no play. Dot, still mourning the recent loss of her husband, is left with the daunting task of reinventing her life alone. Marlafaye, a fiery Texan, has arrived in Savannah after her husband left her for a younger woman, determined to start fresh and plot some sweet revenge. And Jinx, a vivacious life coach, offers her expertise to the group—though she may need more guidance than she’s willing to admit.
As the women bond over their shared misfortunes and misadventures, they discover that friendship, laughter, and the occasional drink are the keys to finding joy and purpose again. Over the course of six months, they learn that it’s never too late to embrace life, take chances, and build new connections. The Savannah Sipping Society is a touching and uproarious celebration of friendship, resilience, and the belief that it’s never too late to live life to the fullest. Cheers to these Southern women who find that sometimes the best way to reclaim your life is with a glass in hand and a good friend by your side!
Savannah is directed by Mark Tullis with Rachel Halicks as assistant director.
Performances of The Savannah Sipping Society are June 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15.
