STEEL MAGNOLIAS
— MARCH 28th - APRIL 13th At Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, the ladies gather for more than just a wash and set—they share life’s joys, sorrows, and everything in between. From the spirited Truvy and her eager assistant Annelle to the sharp-witted Clairee, the feisty Ouiser, the strong-willed M’Lynn, and her beautiful daughter Shelby, their bond is unbreakable. Shelby’s upcoming wedding is the talk of the town, but as she faces health complications, the women’s laughter and love are tested like never before. Through triumph and tragedy, they remind us that friendship, resilience, and a little hairspray can get you through anything. The TND Family Foundation and Yvonne Evans have generously underwritten Steel Magnolias Box Office Opens: Donors on Monday March 10th Season Ticket and Flex Pass Holders Wednesday, March 12th General Public Monday, March 17th |
This is the 50th Anniversary of Fall Creek Vineyards, founded by Ed and Susan Auler in 1975 as the first winery in the Texas Hill Country and the 2nd in the state. The Aulers have been called the “First Family of Texas Wine” for their legislative and promotional efforts to build a viable Texas wine industry, along with numerous world-renowned wines. MERITUS is Fall Creek’s flagship red wine, and this 2021 vintage with its 50th Anniversary commemorative label showcases its rich history and legacy. Cheers to an amazing half-century and to the next 50 years!
