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 |
