TheaterWorks in Peoria will present “The Sweet Delilah Swim Club” to kick off its 40th anniversary season.

Written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten and directed by Virginia Olivieri, known for her acclaimed direction of TheaterWorks’ 2023 production of “5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche,” the show will run from Friday, July 11 through Sunday, Aug. 3 inside the McMillin Theater at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts.

“The Sweet Delilah Swim Club” follows the journey of five women who met on their college swim team and reunite annually at the same beach cottage in North Carolina, navigating life's challenges and joys together. The comedy is for audiences of all ages.

The Peoria cast features Vanessa Nelson (as Sheree Hollinger), Amy Garland (as Dinah Grayson), Stephanie Vlasich (as Lexie Richards), Carrie Ellen Jones (as Jeri Neal McFeeley), Bridgette Martinez (as Vernadette Simms), and Tennille Audi and Colleen Rose Thompson (as swings).

“This show resonated deeply with our audiences in 2012, and we are eager to share its timeless charm and humor once again,” C.W. McMillin Executive Director of TheaterWorks Chris Hamby shared in a press release.

Tickets are available for $47 online at theaterworks.org, at the TheaterWorks box office, or by phone at 623-815-7930.

TheaterWorks was founded in 1986.
