STEEL MAGNOLIAS Runs Nov. 4-6

SSCC_Steel Magnolias promoSTEEL MAGNOLIAS
SSCC Theatre
Nov. 4-6
Sothern State Community College Daniels Auditorium [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Jessica Wise as Truvy, Emma Horick as Annelle, Leslie Holmes as Ouiser, Bronwyn Jones as Miss Clairee, Paula Campagna as M’Lynn & Madison Hatfield as Shelby

Set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come 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 shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has 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 ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play is at times touching and funny.
