Sugar Lee’s tired of waiting for her dream to come to her. So she’s reached out and grabbed it.

But that dream, starting a day spa in an abandoned church, makes her friends wonder if she’s lost her marbles.

Nevertheless, they try to help her make a go of Spa-Dee-Dah in the Southern comedy “The Hallelujah Girls,” which opens in the Flo Summitt Theater at Oak Street Playhouse on Friday, Sept. 27, and continues for six performances through next weekend.

Oak Street Playhouse is located in First-Centenary United Methodist Church.
