Every August, a group of five meet for a weekend at a beach-front cottage to recharge their friendship, which began on their college swim team. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a 33-year period.
Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives. As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them.
When fate throws a wrench into one of their lives, the enduring power of "teamwork' is proven, as they rally round their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a surprising direction.
The Dixie Swim Club is an hilarious and touching story about friendships that last forever.

What's Happening
News
Brighton Barn Theatre lost its long time President on May 2nd after a lengthy illness. Art Middleton, or J Arthur as he always liked to be listed in our programs, had been President for as long as most of us can remember.
For almost 20 years, in addition to his presidential duties, Art also produced plays, was our Technical Director, set designer, lighting designer and operator. We have always been blessed that Art and his construction team had our sets "ready to go" so that our casts could rehearse on them as quickly as possible.
Art was truly committed to our Brighton Barn Theatre, having moved from Cobourg to Brighton, just five minutes away from the theatre, when he became President.
Despite his illness, Art last designed the set and lighting for Norm Foster's "Jenny's House of Joy" which ran April - May this 2025 season and was a tremendous success.
His talents and dedication will surely be missed.
