Take a trip back in time to 1956 with the Morris Theatre Guild as it performs “Seeing Stars in Dixie,” a play set in the small town of Natchez, Mississippi. Hollywood arrives and brings its stars along with it, while the proprietor of Clammie’s, a tea room, oversees her own cast of characters. These characters include her take-charge friend Tootie, a former beauty queen named Jo Beth, Glease, who typically gets along with women better than men, and unethical social climber Marjorie.
