STEEL MAGNOLIAS
By Robert Harling
Direction by Steve Perigard
July 4 – August 2, 2009 – Part of the Summer Fools Festival

Set in a beauty salon in rural Louisiana, the play covers nearly three years in the lives of six women. The play is alternately hilarious and touching – and, in the end, deeply revealing of the strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its characters.
