This Fall, Shelby County Arts Council will be stepping into the world of community theatre for general audiences with their first play ever: Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling. Join us in October when we step into the world of Chinquapin, Louisiana to experience the lives surrounding 6 amazing women. If you love this classic story, don’t miss out on our historic debut into the Shelby County community theatre scene!
About the show:
“All the ladies who are “anybody” in Chinquapin, Louisiana come to Truvy’s beauty salon to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire; Miss Clairee, the former mayors wife; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and several acerbic verbal collisions, the comedy moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby risks her life to go through with a dangerous pregnancy. Confronted with the harshness of mortality, the others draw together to find strength – and love – in the wake of tragedy.”
Join us on the Song Theater Stage for this beloved play by Robert Harling, directed by Dyllon Johnson.
If you buy tickets for opening night October 16th, you are invited to a special opening reception with light refreshments!
Tickets: $20 for all general seats (+ 9% sales tax)
