Join Elmira Little Theatre for The Sweet Delilah Swim Club, a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about five former college swim teammates who reunite every summer at their beloved North Carolina beach cottage, Sweet Delilah. Over the course of four unforgettable weekends spanning more than three decades, these women laugh, reminisce, argue, and support one another through life’s biggest moments—love, marriage, divorce, parenting, aging, and everything in between.
