Let's get this party started!

 The Gateway Theatre Guild is thrilled to announce the Northern Ontario premiere of Jones Hope Wooten’s international hit comedy The Savannah Sipping Society. Five performances only!

 Join Randa, Dot, Marlafaye & Jinx on the verandah for an evening or afternoon as one by one they make this messed up world a happier place. Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their lives. If you liked The Golden Girls, you’re going to love The Savannah Sipping Society. Directed by Rob Ferron and starring Patsy McVicars, Julie Price Martel, Jennifer Ritchie & Rosemary Sidorko.
