Black Rose Community Theatre (103 Black St., Brandon) presents the comedy "Divorce Southern Style" Sept. 14-18.

Dani Baisden directs the play about a woman who plots to win back her ex-husband for financial reasons.

Divorced for 15 years and running low on cash, the character Eleanor Bander decides reconciliation with her ex-husband (whose second wife died the year before) is her best hope. To lure him within striking range, she tells him that their daughter is about to be married—hinting that it is a forced situation—when the truth is that the daughter is merely engaged again (for the fifth time) to her long-standing fiancé.

The ex-husband, Walter, not only arrives, but brings along his current flame, a former classmate who was Eleanor's competition from high school.

The cast includes Lynn Allegrezza, Paula Conn, Tabitha Miller, Tonya Blough, Eric Hambrick, Kris Vick and Bob Perry.

Shows are 7:30 p.m. Sept. 14-17 and 2 p.m. Sept. 18. Tickets are $15. Seniors and students can buy tickets for $10. For information, call 601-825-1293.
