Steel Magnolias

A Southern Treasure
by Robert Harling
directed by John Feltch

April 10 – May 8, 2011

Have a good hair day.
Many things beside hair get done at Truvy’s hair salon, and that’s why it is the place to go in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana. Gossip, revelations and witty Southern banter flow like refreshing sweet tea on a hot summer day. The opinionated Truvy and her new assistant, Annelle, play host to unlikely friends Ouiser and Clairee, the respectable and sociable M’Lynn and her beautiful daughter, Shelby. As the women come face to face with difficult times, they are brought together through strength and love.

“Smell that sweet fragrance? It's the intoxicating Steel Magnolias....”
–Lynn Jessup, Classical Voice of North Carolina
