Director Judy MacKeigan is looking for a cast of strong, female actors

to portray the iconic women of Steel Magnolias. Set in the late 1980s

in a small town in Louisiana, Steel Magnolias is an homage to the

strength of friendship that holds us together through life’s tragedy and

comedy. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, but

those auditioning are encouraged to be familiar with the story and the

characters.

(note: actors should be able to portray the following age/age range for

each character.)

Truvy- Owner and operator of the beauty salon where the action of the

show takes place. Kind hearted, practical, and lively. Age 40-50

Annelle- newly hired assistant to Truvy, naïve, gullible and lacking in

self-confidence, but sweet and lovable. age 18-20

Clairee –neighborhood patron of the beauty shop, widow of the former

mayor, a bit reserved and formal age 65-75

Shelby- pretty, popular and self assured, but has a life-threatening

form of type 1 Diabetes, 25-30

M’lynn- Shelby’s mother, career woman, confident and strong, but

concerned for her daughter 50-60
