Steel Magnolias By Robert HarlingThursday, October 18, 2018 @ 7:30 PMFriday, October 19, 2018 @ 7:30 PMHoover Library TheatreContact: (205) 444-7888 Tickets $27.50
Within the walls of Truvy’s beauty shop, set in the deep Bayou of Louisiana, are six women whose lives increasingly hinge on the existence of one another. In each of our lives, we encounter those with whom we share an indescribable bond. They are the ones we’d go to any lengths to support and with whom we can disagree strongly while loving deeply. They change our lives just by being in them and our connections with them defy the limitations of distance and time. At turns both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, this L.A. Theatre Works production features a diverse cast of six extraordinary characters in a tour de force of female empowerment, resilience and the comfort that can be found right in our own back yard.
