Steel Magnolias

By Robert Harling

Directed by Jeff Sanders

Aug. 20 - Sept. 11, 2010

“The play builds to a conclusion that is deeply moving.” —NY Daily News

 Based on the tragic death of Author Robert Harling’s younger sister, the action centers around Truvy’s beauty parlor and six women who regularly gather there. Although the main storyline involves Shelby, her mother and Shelby’s medical battles such as choosing to have a child despite having Type 1 diabetes, the underlying group-friendship among all six women is prominent throughout the drama.
