70TH SEASON OPENER | SEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 7
Written by Robert Harling
Produced by Liz Mildenstein
Directed by Joselle Gilpin
If you loved the movie (and who doesn't), you will love the stage play! 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, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser; an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee; 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. Even after this heartbreaking event, the group 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.
