Please note new show dates below!  Sunday shows at 2PM, all others at 7:30 PM:

The first play of our 2012 Season is The Dixie Swim Club.  This hilarious comedy features five women who swam together on their college team.  Every year, they get together at the same beach house for a weekend to reminisce, unwind, and catch up.  During the course of the show, they age from 44 to 77, but their friendship and laughter never age.  Sheree is the All-American soccer mom, organized and practical and she will be played by Kimberly Martin. Lexie is a flamboyant, multi-married event planner and decorator and will be brought to life by Lynn Mulkey.  Dinah, portrayed by Janet Vardaman,  is a wise-cracking high powered lawyer.  Jeri Neal  is a one-time nun with an always positive outlook and some new things in her life.  Jackie Bauer will play her.  And brought to life by Ellen Painter,  Vernadette,  in spite of bad luck with husband, job and kids, always tries to find the silver lining.  Their pull-no-punches humor with each other is balanced by the same team spirit they had as a swim team in college.

Director Robert Countryman has scheduled the first rehearsal for December 12, wanting to get right to work on bringing you this great play.  Performance dates are February 10-12 and 17-19 and 27-28 . The show will be produced by Kenneth Farmer and Alex Nawrocki, costumed by Patti Caruso-Hunt, and stage managed by Nan Nawrocki.  They’ve already met and want you to know that any pre-show and behind the scenes help you’d like to give would be welcome.  Contact them through the Tater website at taterpatchplayers@gmail.com.

The Tater Patch Players is a community theater group located in beautiful Jasper, Georgia. We are a very active group and are currently working toward obtaining our own theater building which would eventually serve as a community meeting place and show arena with endless possibilities.

We are hosting a wonderful AUCTION GALA this Saturday to raise funds for this noble project. Please come partake of the fun, festivities and food and BID on our fabulous donated goods and services.

The Auction Gala goes from 6:30-9:00 pm and admission is $10, with proceeds to go the building fund. See you there!
