FRIENDSHIP CLUB invites you to the
Lighthouse Festival Theatre Port Dover to see
When the Flackston Mill closes, the small town
mayor of Elliston Falls looks to tourism as the
solution to his community’s sharp decline in
prosperity. Although skeptical at first, four
enterprising women soon realize that desperate times
