In “Five Tellers Dancing in the Rain,” playwright Mark Dunn mines two notable attributes of Southern women: charm and sass.
The play will be presented the next two weekends at Dalton Little Theatre, which has staged four previous titles by Dunn, including the world premiere last season of “Happily Ever After, a Wedding Comedy.”
Ron King has directed three of those previous efforts and has assumed those duties a fourth time with “Five Tellers,” which he describes as funny, serious and full of Southern charm.
Set in the breakroom of a small Mississippi bank, the play follows the lives, loves and losses of five tellers over six consecutive weekday mornings as they share laughter and tears over lots of coffee. Whether they are dealing with broken arms or broken hearts, the tellers find strength and self-respect through the friendships of those who have been down the same road.
