Written by Jessie
Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten
Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their
college swim team, they now set aside a long weekend every August
to recharge those relationships. They meet at the same beach cottage
on North Carolina's Outer Banks 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 that life flings at
them.

Shakespeare's play. Secrets emerge and friendships unravel amid
the audience's laughter. You may even recognize these rude playgoers
as the obnoxious people who sometimes sit behind you.
