'Seeing Stars in Dixie'

A Pumphouse Players performance written by Ron Osborne and directed by Dave Boggess, in 1956, Hollywood's brightest stars have arrived in Natchez, Mississippi, to film 'Raintree County.'

Meanwhile at Clemmie's Tea Room, the widowed movie-buff proprietress with a secret admirer, oversees her own cast of characters: Tootie, her take charge friend; Jo Beth, a former beauty queen; Glease, a man more comfortable with women than with macho men; and Marjorie, an unethical social climber.

Competition for a small role in the movie brings out the best and worst of these memorable characters. Twists, turns and revelations lead Clemmie to trade a moment of fame for love and the chance to impact the lives of people dear to her.
