  Steel Magnolias
The quintessential story of friendship, Steel Magnolias serves up a slice of life in Louisiana that's as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie. In the haven of Truvy's beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighborly gossip for good measure. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event in their lives en masse with grace, determination, and perfectly coifed hair. When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvy's salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through. Hailed by The Daily News as "a finely constructed piece of theatre, as resilient, as funny, as moving and as bracing as its marvelous title characters," Robert Harling's enduring comedy is a heartfelt celebration of love, loyalty, and the bonds of sisterhood.
