ABOUT THE SHOW...
In this lightning-quick farce, Meg (Jill Lewandowski), Carol (Rachel Loper), Ellie (Piper Drace) and Dot (Susannah Griffin) travel to Dot’s Northwoods cabin to consume copious amounts of wine, laugh at their lives, trade stories and chat about their book club’s latest selection.
However, after the third case of wine comes through the door, it becomes clear there will be more stewing than reviewing. The madcap, door-slamming chaos comes to a head when Dot wakes up and discovers her girls’ weekend is full of...well, we don’t want to spoil it all!
Rounding out the cast are Greg Ellis (Rick), Jason Bruce (Stephen), Steven Perry (Sheriff Tom), and Brodie Sapp (Bubba).

Along with theater, she enjoys spending free time baking for her family and friends. “To friends and wine!”

He is thrilled to be appearing for his fourth production at Riverfront Theater.

Outside of the theater, Susannah has been a Realtor with Long & Foster in the Rehoboth/Lewes area for 25 years. She is truly grateful for the opportunity to learn, collaborate and share in the joy of bringing this funny and heartfelt story to life with such a wonderful cast and creative team.
Jill Lewandowski (Meg) - Girls’ Weekend is Jill’s third show with Second Street Players. She is honored to have previously performed in Murder on the Orient Express and You Can’t Take It with You at the Riverfront Theater. She has been active with local theaters, on and off stage, for the past 15 years.
Rachel Loper (Carol and Light Design) – Rachel is a familiar face around Riverfront Theater wearing many hats including board member, director and lighting designer (just to name a few). However, Girl’s Weekend marks her grand return to being onstage after 20 years! Rachel would like to thank her fellow cast, crew and production team for making this momentous occasion such a wonderful and memorable experience. When she isn’t at the theater, Rachel enjoys relaxing at home with her three pets–a golden retriever, a black cat and her husband, Lou.

Brodie Sapp (Bubba) – Bubba is a returning player. He spent some time in Manhattan doing musical theater, and now he’s working his way through college to be a Paleontologist. Brodie has done theater for 11 or so years now and it’s taken him from his highest to his lowest and everywhere in between. He’d like to thank his Mom, Dad, Uncle Slim, and Kaylee. God bless.
