SYNOPSIS

"If you can't find anything good to say about anybody, come sit by me." These words of wisdom sum up Robert Harling's 1987 off-Broadway sensation and subsequent smash film Steel Magnolias. Set in a beauty parlor in Chinquapin, Louisiana, Steel Magnolias illustrates how the lives of six distinctly different women interweave via the small town gossip that shadows the unending cylce of birth, marriage and death. "I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years!" Filled with hilarious Southern repartee and humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play draws on the town's underlying strength--and love--which gives the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and in bad.
