Winthrop Players to Present STEEL MAGNOLIAS, Begin. 11/15

Join the Winthrop Playmakers as they continue their milestone 75 season with their upcoming production of Steel Magnolias, directed by Stephanie Manning.

Set in small­town Louisiana, Robert Harling's Steel Magnolias has come to be one of the quintessential stories of friendship and trust. Truvy owns a local­homegrown beauty salon, where all the ladies who are "anybody" go to have their hair done. Six very different women who regularly gather there come together to share their secrets, fears and love for one another while engaging the audience in hysterical and neighborly gossip. With characters that are touching, hilarious, and entirely realistic, Steel Magnolias is a production not to be missed.

Steel Magnolias' ensemble cast includes Stephanie Cotten­ Snell as Truvy, Christina Lonardo as Annelle, Nancy Tutunjian Berger as Clairee, Stanis Johnson as Shelby, Juliana Dennis as M'Lynn, and Carolyn Cafarelli as Ousier.
