steel magnolias

Women grieving, laughing, and sharing the unbreakable bonds of friendship: that is the heart of the Robert Harling’s Steel Magnolias. Set in the sacred space of the beauty salon, the women of Chinquapin, LA come together to support each other through joy and tragedy. The characters of Truvy, Annelle, Ouiser, Clairee, M’Lynn, and Shelby are beloved by generations of women all over the world, and Red Magnolia Theatre Company is bringing them home to Louisiana. Harling’s play, inspired by the death of his sister Susan Harling Robinson, is a powerful exploration of the underlying strength—and love—at the heart of female friendship. Join us in November as we present the truly touching, funny and powerful story of sacrifice of Steel Magnolias.
