The Play
All the ladies who are anybody in Chinquapin, Louisiana come to Turvy's Beauty Salon to get their hair done. Wise-cracking Turvy and her eager new assistant Annelle (who isn't sure whether or not she's still married) dispense shampoo and free advice to an array of memorable characters. There's the town's rich curmudgeon Ouiser (I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mod for 40 years), Miss Clairee the eccentric millionaire with a raging sweet tooth and the local social leader M'Lynn whose daughter Shelby — the prettiest girl in town — is about to marry a "Good Ol' Boy".
With comedy and tragedy in equal measure, Steel Magnolias is a play filled with hilarious repartee and humorously revealing exchanges. A testament to the touching quality of amiable company in good times and in bad.
