Live entertainment
Stone Arch Players present “The Sweet Delilah Swim Club”: Arch Players’ hilarious and touching comedy, “The Sweet Delilah Swim Club,” opens Friday at the Theatre in the Park at Kishacoquillas Park in Lewistown. 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, the “Sweet Delilah” on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s affairs. The Sweet Delilah Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of 33 years.
