STEEL MAGNOLIAS
Presented by Brieabi Productions
March 1-10
Anderson Township

Directed by Michael Schlotterbeck
Produced by Arlene Borock

Cast: Annelle – Brigette Nieman, Truvy – Kristy Rucker, Clairee – Kathie Labanz, Shelby – Molly Massa, M’Lynn – Rose Vanden Eynden & Ouiser – Amy Sullivan

The action is 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 moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

THE BOYS NEXT DOOR
Presented by Brieabi Productions
Aug. 23-26
Anderson Township

THE BOYS NEXT DOOR deals with four mentally disabled men who live in a group home. It takes place over roughly a two month period of time and consists of brief vignettes about their lives. Though the play is quite humorous in its non-mocking way of dealing with the handicapped men in real situations, the play takes a surprising turn as Barry’s one-armed father comes to visit, and Jack (their caretaker) accepts a new job.

Directed by Shawn Toadvine

Smith, Tim Rogers as Barry Klemper, Jeff Nieman as Jack Palmer, Katey Blood as Sheila, Jamie Ball as Mr. Klemper, Arlene Borock as Mrs. Fremus/Mrs. Warren/Clara & Jim Cronin as Mr. Hedges/Mr. Corbin/Senator Clark
