For its fall play, Seeing Stars in Dixie, Yellow Point Drama Group (YPDG) takes audiences back to 1956 to small town Mississippi. It�s the days before the paparazzi and star-struck locals are hoping to spot Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift nearby shooting a movie. Seeing Stars in Dixie, written by Ron Osborne and directed by Joanne MacIntosh for the Yellow Point Drama Group, centers around Clemmie�s Tea Room where an insecure proprietress attracts a secret admirer, directs her own cast of customers, and competes for a moment in the spotlight.

Full of twists, this lighthearted comedy stars Patricia Zogar as Clemmie; Evelyn Applin as Tootie her opinionated friend; Tabi Jasper as former beauty queen Jo Beth; Michael Robinson as Glease, a man with a well-developed fashion sense; and Inge Cathers as devious social climber Marjorie.

Seeing Stars in Dixie opens Thursday, October 3 with a discounted preview evening (tickets $12) and runs over three weekends on October 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19; doors open at 7 pm and show time is 8 pm (tickets $17 adults/$12 youth). On Saturday, October 12, doors open at 6 pm for a special 8 pm dinner-theatre presentation; tickets are $35 and include a three-course dinner. On Saturday, October 19, doors open at 1 pm for a 2 pm matinee performance (tickets $12).
