It’s 1974 in Hazelhurst, Mississippi, and the Magrath sisters are in the throes of family trauma on, of all days, elder-sister Lenny’s 30th birthday. Old Granddaddy, the family patriarch, is in the hospital failing fast. “Babe” is in jail for shooting her husband Zachary because she “didn’t like his looks,” and middle-sister Meg, who fled Hazelhurst after Hurricane Camille to pursue a Hollywood career, has been summoned home. Cousin Chick-the-Stick is stirring up more trouble while Babe’s lawyer, Barnette Lloyd, and Meg’s old flame, Doc Porter, are doing all they can to support the sisters. The Magrath home is filled
with dysfunction, grief, wit, and hilarity with heart as big as a “Jumbo Deluxe” birthday cake.

Bring a prepared monologue from the show or be ready to read from script. Director Pat Yates will be happy to provide sides or answer any questions about the show. Email her at Patyates2850@gmail.com for more information.

David Garrett’s Covering Dish – Opening Night

Get Tickets 

 

Someone once said, “Southern women know that it takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a tribe of southern women to raise a southern woman.” To honor the Southern women in our lives, South City Theatre dedicates their 2023-24 Season to these “steel magnolias.”

We kick off our new season with a hysterical Southern comedy, Covering Dish, scheduled for five performances: August 11, 12, 18 and 19 at 7:30 PM and August 13 at 2:30 PM. All performances are at the theatre, 2969 Pelham Parkway, Suite J, Pelham, AL 35124. Tickets can be purchased in advance at southcitytheatre.com and reservations made by calling (205) 621-2128. Advance tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors (over 60) and students (under 18). Groups of 10+ receive a discount of $12 per ticket. All tickets purchased at the door are $20.

Written by local playwright, David Garrett, Covering Dish hasn’t been performed in the area in over 20 years. South City Theatre is proud to bring this gem back to the stage. The death of Great Aunt Eula Mae has thrown the five Dish sisters into a tizzy. Who stole the two-carat diamond ring that Aunt Eula Mae promised to each of them? Does it have anything to do with the son who recently got out of prison? Or maybe the undocumented immigrant hiding in the cellar? What about shenanigans at the Poultry Processing Plant? Will a séance reveal everything? If you can’t trust your family, who can you trust?

Under the direction of SCT’s Artistic Director Donna Stinson Williamson, the cast includes a talented collection of veteran performers and newcomers: Leslie Price, Sharon Morgan, Marlene Wallace, Trey Woodrow, Jess Smyly, Donna Littlepage, Katy Walker, Robin Wallace, Paul LaRussa, Mac Pearson, Scott Frazier, Genni Boatwright, Maree Jones, Brad Siegal, Alan Ashman, Jay Welborn, Amy Self, Madelyn Harbison, Michelle Vercher, Donna Williamson, and Warren Hamby.

As you walk out of this performance, you’ll swear there’s just a hint of magnolia and honeysuckle in the air. Join us for this irreverent and deliciously delightful southern romp!

South City Theatre and The Pelham Beat Present Love Letters

South City Theatre and the Pelham BEAT are excited to present Love Letters, a poignant and entertaining play that explores the profound and enduring nature of love. The play revolves around two friends who have exchanged letters, cards, and notes with each other for more than half a century. But as they reflect on their lives and choices, they realize that they may have missed out on the love of their lives. This production is directed by Pat Yates and stars Sue Ellen Gerrells and Ron Dauphinee.


Love Letters is a heartwarming and humorous portrayal of the human experience of love, loss, and connection. It is a play that will leave audiences both laughing and crying. But that’s not all! The play is presented alongside a sumptuous dinner and dessert. The menu includes a delicious chicken marsala dish, consisting of grilled chicken breast sautéed in a creamy mushroom marsala sauce served with garlic mashed potatoes and streamed broccoli. For dessert, indulge in some strawberry shortcake. A cash bar will also be available for those who wish to have a drink.


The event will take place at the Banquet Hall of the Civic Complex & Ice Arena, starting at 6 PM. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a delightful evening of entertainment, food, and drinks with friends and loved ones.


Don’t miss this chance to experience Love Letters and indulge in a delicious meal with great company!
