Steel Magnolias

Book By: Robert Harling, The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon where all the ladies who are “anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her assistant, Annelle, the outspoken Truvy dispenses shampoos and advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser; an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry. A new bundle of joy is followed soon by tragedy and the sense of community and comfort the characters build makes this play a touching classic.
