love those sippin' ladies of savannah!

And that included las tres amigas tonight!
No, we weren't in Paris - we were at Muse Arts Warehouse.
It was opening night for the latest offering from The Collective Face Ensemble! In celebration of their fifth season, they had brought a play from one of my favorite "playwrights", Jones Hope Wooten. You recall how much I enjoyed getting my Jones on with their plays at Tybee, right? Well, this play is brand new to this area and it's the first time it's being produced here. Very appropriate, too!
Oh, but wait... silly me, I haven't told you it's name yet, have I?
Well, it's "The Savannah Sipping Society" and it takes place primarily on a veranda downtown!
I do declare, you do understand that I meant figuratively, not literally, right?
Still, it's as if that front porch had been gently picked up and deposited on the stage floor at the Muse. (Wonderful creation, y'all!) It twas the site of the majority of the action between these three women who met at a disgusting hot yoga event and who all agreed that a nice drink might be in order...and next thing you know, there they are on Randa's veranda! Dot had even brought along a young friend, Jinx, who was new to the area. The wine had turned to vinegar, but not to worry! Marlafaye was a liquor rep and she had whisky in her tote!
And so it went! Every week, the ladies would join forces to sort out the rough spots in their lives via a cordial or two. Sometimes it was a pitcher of mojitos, others a bottle of madeira, or perhaps a new craft brew. What a delightful play it was!
And since it was an opening night, you know what that meant, right?
Champagne and treats from Joe's Homemade!
Ah, yes, THIS is how to spend a summertime Friday evening - in the cool, sipping bubbly, with friends old and new!
(smile!)
