The Blurb: Meet five women: Dinah, Sheree, Vernadette, Lexie, and Jeri Neal. They were all on The Dixie Swim Club team back in college.

Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. Think Steel Magnolias meets Same Time Next Year.

The Good Doctor Reviews!

Pat Craig, Contra Costa Times –
“The real gold wasn't struck until the second act, "The Drowning Man" directed by Dana Lewenthal captured the Simon/Chekhov tone perfectly. In "The Drowning Man," Southard plays opposite Rhonda Taylor, who is wickedly hilarious as the woman in red who makes her living by pretending to drown. The piece is a beautifully structured comic gem, and Southard and Taylor play it brilliantly.”

Charles Jarrett, Rossmoor News –
“The Drowned Woman" sells tickets to her drowning demonstration. Is it an act, or is it real? Ah Twilight Zone, where for art thou? This terrific skit employs actress Rhonda Taylor as the woman about to jump in the ocean for a price. This is a superb piece, artfully directed, and skillfully portrayed.”
