STALE MAGNOLIAS: THE MUSICAL to Play Oasis This Summer

By:

Imagine a sequel to "Steel Magnolias," a lost season of "Designing Women," and a second helping of "Fried Green Tomatoes" all rolled into one! Steel Magnolias is every 80's "Southern lady's comedy" and now it's set to music! Book and lyrics by Sean Owens, music by Don Seaver. Directed by Cora Values.

Runs July 21 - August 6, 2016 - every Thursday - Saturday at 7:00PM at Oasis - 298 11th Street (on the corner of Folsom). Tickets are $25-$35 in advance at www.sfoasis.com.

Welcome to Rectal, Texas - home of the Last Chance Salon, where proprietor CC Chesterfield's slogan is "Natural beauty is no excuse." Six women in a small town, circa 1985, prove they have the big hair and padded shoulders to overcome any adversity-- but when they're trapped together at the local hairdresser's, their barbed tongues fly, and no-one's dignity is left unshredded! Based on Sean Owens' 2009 hit play of the same name, "Stale Magnolias: The Musical" is packed with all the Southern archetypes you know and love. So take another trip back to the "Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean!" Get one more chance to catch "The Last Picture Show!" Meet six women suspected of "Crimes of the Heart!"

Featuring the drag talents of Marilynn Fowler, Jef Valentine, Robert Molossi, Michael Phillis, 'Drew Todd and Jerry Navarro, show-stopping wigs by Jordan L'Moore, and an original score by the songwriting team of Don Seaver and Sean Owens.

Directed by Cora Values, proprietress of the Gas 'N' Gulp in Rectal, Texas.

*Two Audience members nightly will be selected for a "Rectal Reclaimation" makeover, and a chance to appear in the show's finale!

**OASIS is wheelchair accessible.
