SYNOPSIS
The Savannah Sipping Society has depth and poignancy that touches on the true meaning of friendship and what it
means when circumstances force us to adjust to the uncomfortable changes and twists and turns that life
brings. We meet four unique Southern women: Randa, Dot, Marlafaye and later, Jinx, their new “life coach.” They
agree to meet on Randa’s verandah on Friday nights for cocktails. They all desire to escape the sameness of
their day-to-day routines, as they each are going through a dramatic and difficult change in their life. They are
each very different people with seemingly nothing in common, but are drawn together by fate and an
impromptu happy hour! With a little encouragement, they decide it’s time to reclaim the enthusiasm for the
life they’ve lost throughout the years. Over the course of six months, which are filled with laughter, hilarious
misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find
the confidence to jumpstart their new lives. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed
determination to live in the moment. Most importantly, they realize it’s never too late to make “old friends”
new. So, raise your glass to these strong women and their fierce embrace of life and say, “Cheers!” to this
joyful and surprisingly touching Jones, Hope, and Wooten comedy!
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Randa Covington (stage age 49) Randa is a perfectionist and workaholic, struggling to cope with a
surprise career derailment that, unfortunately, reveals that she has no life and no idea how to get
one.
Dot Haigler (stage age 69) Dot is still reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss of
their plans for an idyllic retirement. She also faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from
scratch — and all alone.
Marlafaye Mosley (stage age 57) Earthy and boisterous, Marlafaye is a good ol’ Texas gal. She has
blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin’ husband to a 23-year-old dental
hygienist. The strength of her desire to establish a new life is equaled only by her desire to wreak a
righteous revenge on her ex.
Jinx Jenkins (stage age 53) Also new to town, Jinx, a spunky ball of fire, offers her services as a
much-needed life coach for these women. However, blinded by her determination and efforts to get
their lives on track, she overlooks the fact that she’s the one most in need of sage advice.
Randa’s Grandmother (non-speaking role; stage age 81) Grandmother of Randa who appears and
dies. Elegant matriarch of powerful, southern family.
