The Peterborough Players Present STEEL MAGNOLIAS 2/15-26
By: A.A. Cristi Feb. 06, 2017
An American classic that is popular around the world (not to mention the basis for the award-winning film of the same name), Steel Magnolias celebrates the bond of female companionship. Six strong Southern women gather weekly at Truvy's beauty shop, where all the ladies who are anybody go to have their hair done. Full of heart and humor, the play is a funny and moving story of love, loss, and enduring friendship. Playwright Robert Harling said "...while gorgeous, magnolias are fragile and bruise easily-qualities often attributed to Southern women. My extraordinary life experiences with my sister and mother showed me that women are indeed gorgeous, but their lives can be fragile. But underneath, they possess a tensile strength stronger than anything I could ever muster."
Steel Magnolias features Peterborough's own Katelyn and Kathy Manfre with Lisa Bostnar, Alycia Kunkle,Brenny Rabine and Pamela White. Directed by Artistic Director Gus Kaikkonen. Single tickets are $39 and a 6-ticket flex pass can be purchased for $180. Both options are on sale now. For more information on this and all upcoming production, call 603-924-7585 or visit www.peterboroughplayers.org. The Peterborough Players is located at 55 Hadley Rd in Peterborough, NH.
