About this Event
Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.
Robert Harling's beloved masterpiece brings us inside Truvy's Louisiana beauty shop, where six remarkable women gossip, bicker, celebrate, and grieve their way through the most ordinary — and most extraordinary — moments of their lives. There's Truvy, whose hair philosophy is a gospel unto itself. Annelle, the nervous newcomer. Clairee, the widow with a razor-sharp wit. Ouiser, the curmudgeon who's always right. M'Lynn, the mother holding everything together. And Shelby, whose radiant spirit will change them all forever.
Written in just ten days as a tribute to the playwright's late sister, Steel Magnolias has earned its place as one of the most treasured American plays of the last half century. It will make you howl with laughter one moment and reach for tissues the next.
Bring the women you love. They'll thank you.
