Steel Magnolias – April 2-17
Presented by the Bluegrass Players
Director Chad Hembree joins with Kysten Daugherty to produce the very touching and heart-warming comedy Steel Magnolias. The All-Star cast features Letha Hembree, Charla Gilbert, Paula Davis, Jennifer Rose Escobar, Alyssa Bustle, and co-director Kyrsten Daugherty. The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where she dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s eccentric residents. Filled with hilarious moments of wit and madness amid humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy where the ladies are forced to draw on their underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
