Steel Magnolias
written by Robert Harling
directed by Gary Kirchhof
All the ladies who are anybody in Chinquapin, Louisiana, come to have their hair done at Truvy’s beauty salon. The outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy and her eager new assistant, Annelle (who may or may not be married) dispense free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire Miss Clairee; the social leader M’Lynn; and her daughter, Shelby, who is the prettiest girl in town and about to marry a “good ole boy.” When diabetic Shelby risks pregnancy, the sudden realization of their mortality affects the others but also draws on their underlying strength – and love – to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
Presented by Chapel Street Players.
