Steel Magnolias
September 3 – October 19, 2025
By Robert Harling
A hilarious celebration of friendship, heartache and hairdos!
This beloved and moving comedy chronicles the lives and friendships of six marvelously different women who support each other through triumphs and tragedies. They congregate every Saturday at Truvy’s beauty shop to ponder the mysteries of life and death, husbands and children – and hair and nails! Through their witty banter and plenty of ribbing, the women form bonds as strong as steel and friendships that feel like family.
“…sharp, funny … deeply moving” — New York Daily News
“a slice of Southern Americana charm, honesty, and wit.” — The Gettysburgian
Robert Harling adapted his play, a tribute to his sister, into an all-star movie filmed in his hometown. He went on to write the screenplays for The First Wives Club, Soapdish, The Evening Star and Laws of Attraction.
