SUMMER 2019 (June 14-16, 21-23 )
Steel Magnolias Written by: Robert Harling Directed by: Christine Dalton Produced by: Beth Laughinghouse Location: Jefferson High School PAC Join us for our ten year anniversary show! AUDITIONS: March 7, 7:00-8:30 pm March 10, 2:00-4:00 pm March 11, 7:00-8:30 pm at the Jefferson Civic Center |
Set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, 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; an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, 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 everyone, 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.
