Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids, and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other’s lives. The show focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. A hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever…

Shannon Paige as Jeri Neal
Shannon is grateful to have the opportunity to perform her first ever staged play at the Forst Inn with these talented young ladies. She finds the comedy in the show is essential during these rough times. Performing this show to take the audiences mind off of the world and current events, and to do it in a safe and comfortable place is extremely rewarding for us all. Highlighted works include: Into the Woods(Jack’s Mother), Zombie Prom(Choreographer/Candy), The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee(Logainne), and Rabbit Hole(Stage Manager). You can also catch her caroling every Christmas as a singing elf in the Forst Inn’s Mistletoe Musings. When not at the Forst Inn, she is usually home with her 2 fluffball children and working at Forefront Dermatology. She hopes you enjoy the show and laugh loud and hard as the world needs more laughter nowadays. Stay safe.
