A Profound Dramedy

The heart-wrenching, deeply moving dramedy Steel Magnolias finds new life on stage this season in this local production. Writer Robert Harling's tribute to his late sister to life with tenderness and heart, Steel Magnolias portrays the resilience of the bonds of womanhood and sisterhood in one small Louisiana town.

What is the story?

Charting the lives of six small-town women through times of great hardship, great joy and the messy bits in between, the play balances Harling's trademark witty dialogue with moments of despair for a profound portrait of the human condition. Set in the Chinquapin salon, Louisiana, the play chronicles salon owner Truvy Jone's interactions with her regulars and friends. Their lighthearted conversations and true friendship, go a long way in helping them cope with the difficulties of life.
