(Le Mars) — Five women who were members of a college swim team that hold a
reunion at a North Carolina beach house is the setting for the latest Le Mars
Community Theater’s production entitled “The Dixie Swim Club”. Long-time postal
playhouse volunteer Audrey Scholten is directing the play. Scholten says she
first heard about the play from a friend of hers.
Scholten says the play is slated as a comedy, but it does contain some poignant
moments.
Scholten talks about the cast that will perform “The Dixie Swim Club” and she
explains that each character within the play has some type of flaw.
The fifth cast member is played by Scholten’s daughter, Janelle Bixenman, a
character that seems to always be injury prone, and has some type of injury during
each reunion. Scholten says it has been rewarding to be able to direct her
daughter.
“The Dixie Swim Club” opens Friday, September 16th, at 7:30 p.m. and will have
seven days of straight performances. Scholten reminds us there is only one
weekend, and one matinee scheduled for Sunday, at 2:00 p.m. Although Scholten has
assisted with directing duties on other plays, and has directed most notably,
children’s plays. This is her first time of directing a play, and she says it
does present scenarios of which she otherwise wouldn’t think about.
Tickets are still available. For reservations, contact the Postal Playhouse
between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. by calling 546-5788, or go online to
