THE STORY: Hilarity abounds when the feisty females of Eden
Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up their lives. The action in this
rollicking Southern comedy takes place in SPA-DEE-DAH!, the
abandoned church-turned-day-spa where this group of friends gathers
every Friday afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women
realize time is precious, and if they're going to change their lives
and achieve their dreams, they have to get on it now! But Sugar Lee,
their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping
the women motivated. Carlene's given up on romance, having buried
three husbands. Nita's a nervous wreck from running interference
between her problematic son and his probation officer. Mavis'
marriage is so stagnant she's wondering how she can fake her own
death to get out of it. And sweet, simple Crystal entertains them
all, singing Christmas carols with her own hilarious lyrics. The
comic tension mounts when a sexy ex-boyfriend shows up unexpectedly,
a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor and Sugar Lee's
archrival vows she'll stop at nothing to steal the spa away from
her. By the time the women rally together to overcome these
obstacles and launch their new, improved lives, you've got a
side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and
shout "Hallelujah!"
