Cast is four (4) women over 50, one of which is much older.
In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women,
all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn
together by Fate — and an impromptu happy hour — and decide it’s high
time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years. Randa,
a perfectionist and workaholic, is struggling to cope with a surprise career
derailment that, unfortunately, reveals that she has no life and no idea how
to get one. Dot, still reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss
of their plans for an idyllic retirement, faces the unsettling prospect of starting
a new life from scratch — and all alone. Earthy and boisterous Marlafaye, a
good ol’ Texas gal, has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-
cattin’ husband to a twenty-three-year-old dental hygienist. The strength of
her desire to establish a new life is equaled only by her desire to wreak a
righteous revenge on her ex. Also new to town, Jinx, a spunky ball of fire,
offers her services as a much-needed life coach for these women. However,
blinded by her determination and efforts to get their lives on track, she over-
looks the fact that she’s the one most in need of sage advice. Over the course of
six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional
liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find
the confidence to jumpstart their new lives. Together, they discover lasting
friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment — and
most importantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends. So raise
your glass to these strong Southern women and their fierce embrace of life
and say “Cheers!” to this joyful and surprisingly touching Jones, Hope,
Wooten comedy!
