OXFORD — Tred Avon Players has announced its next production, The Hallelujah Girls, a comedy written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten; and directed by Sammie Adams-Mercer. It runs Aug. 15-25 at the Oxford Community Center.
The Hallelujah Girls is a delightful and heartwarming comedy that follows the story of a group of women in Eden Falls, Georgia, who decide to shake up their lives and pursue their dreams after the loss of a dear friend. Led by the vivacious Sugar Lee Thompkins, they transform an abandoned church into a day spa, the "Spa-Dee-Dah."

Amidst the laughter and camaraderie, the women confront their pasts, embrace their futures, and discover the rejuvenating power of friendship and self-reinvention.
The cast includes new and returning actors to the TAP stage: Victoria Willits (Sugar Lee Thompkins), Lynn Sanchez (Carlene Travis), Katy Petty (Crystal Hart), Lisa Roth (Mavis Flowers), Sharon Gilroy (Nita Monney), Maureen Curtin (Bunny Sutherland), Dean Goodwin (Bobby Dwayne Dillahunt), and Rob Sanchez (Porter Padgett).
The Hallelujah Girls opens on Aug. 15 and runs for seven performances through Aug. 25. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons are at 2 p.m. at the Oxford Community Center, 200 Oxford Road in Oxford. Tickets are adults $25/students $15 (fees included).
