Written by Robert Harling and directed by Brady Greer Huffman, come see the play that inspired the hit 1989 film. The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana. 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, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry. Filled with hilarious repartee, the play takes a turn when, in the second act, Shelby risks pregnancy and loses her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the other women but also draws on their underlying strength, unity, and love.
