Steel Magnolias- Premiere Party
Steel = strength and Magnolias = dignity… What fitting descriptors for the women of Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana—the true Steel Magnolias of the 1980s. Weekly visits to Truvy’s Beauty Salon provide a place to share their lives, loves (“If he’s trying to drive me crazy, it’s too late”), town gossip, and concerns for the health of M’Lynn’s daughter Shelby, a diabetic. Playwright Robert Harling wrote the story in 1987 as a loving tribute to his sister, Susan, who died from type 1 diabetes.
The 1989 motion picture of the same name received numerous nominations and awards that delivered the comedy, the tragedy, and the testament to the shared bonds of female friendship. It’s so full of big hearts, bigger hair, and razor-sharp Southern wit (“The nicest thing I can say about her is that her tattoos are spelled correctly”), you’ll want to schedule your next hair appointment and reserve your tickets right away!
STEEL MAGNOLIAS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.com
