Review: Palm Canyon Theatre STEEL MAGNOLIAS


Palm Canyon Theatre’s “Steel Magnolias” was the first dramatic work in their primarlily musical season and, wow,  it was the perfect artistic choice!

If you’ve seen the film, you know what an absolutely briilliant and engaging  piece of theatre this is. Timeless!

Palm Canyon Theatre Brings To Its Stage A Little Southern Comfort With STEEL MAGNOLIAS


Palm Canyon Theatre presents the heartfelt Southern Classic Steel Magnolias. The 1987 play, which became a hit movie in 1989, takes audiences into the lives of the strong and endearing women who frequent Truvy’s Salon for hairdos, laughter and sage advice. Like many small close-knit communities, Chinquapin, Louisiana includes an entertaining cast of characters such as a town curmudgeon, an eccentric millionaire and a local social leader.
