Directed by Judy MacKeigan
Steel Magnolias takes Workshop Players back to the 90s with this epic tale set in Truvy’s beauty parlor. Since everybody who is anybody in Chinquapin, Louisiana gathers in Truvy’s salon, audiences are treated to a slice of southern life that is alternately hilarious and touching. Truvy dispenses free advice to the town curmudgeon Ouiser, the eccentric Miss Clairee and the practical M’Lynne whose pretty daughter Shelby is about to be married as the play opens. The sustaining quality of friendship is reinforced as these women’s stories unfold.
