Show Synopsis: Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana is where all
the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her
eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still
married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free
advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just
been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss
Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn,
whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a
"good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but
humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy in
the second act. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the
others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the
play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching,
funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.



Character Breakdown: (Approximate ages for characters)

*Truvy* *Jones*: (35- 45) Owns the beauty shop. Vivacious. Dispenses advice
with lots of hairspray.

*Annelle* *Dupup**‐**Desoto*: (18- 24) Newly hired assistant. Moves from

willed, passionate.

*M'Lynn* *Eatenton*: (40-50’s) to play 40 to 50’s Shelby's mother. Always
knows what’s best, strong, stubborn, the heart of the piece.

curmudgeon. Tough, eccentric character.
