Overview

You may know it from its two film adaptations, but this beloved story actually began its life as a play! Our Steel Magnolias invites you into the intimate world of a Black beauty shop in small- town Louisiana and the lives of the women who keep both the shop and the county running.

With iconic characters, razor sharp wit, and all the Southern charm you can fit on one stage, Steel Magnolias brings heart, warmth, tears, and side-splitting laughter to the Dusty Loo this fall. In the words of Truvy Jones, “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.”

Directed by Theatreworks favorite, Lynne Hastings (Little Women’s Marmee, director of Lady Day), this production celebrates the power of community and friendship in life’s best and worst moments.
