Auditions for Steel Magnolias

by Robert Harling; directed by Thaddeus Nifong

The close-knit women at Truvy's Beauty Salon have lots of time to gossip. Alternately hilarious and touching, the play focuses on the camaraderie of six Southern women who talk, gossip, chitchat, needle and harangue each other through the best of times - and cry, caress, comfort and repair one another through the worst.

Characters
Truvy Jones - Beauty shop owner with Southern charm. Friendly, has a big heart and loves to gossip.
Annelle Dupuy-Desoto - Truvy’s new beauty shop assistant who is new in town. Annelle transforms from being painfully shy into a ‘partying girl” and then to a religious fundamentalist.
M’lynn Eatenton - Shelby’s mother who is very concerned with Shelby’s health and makes sure her opinion on the matter is expressed. M’Lynn is the local social leader.
Shelby Eatonton-Latcherie - The prettiest girl in town. The play opens on the morning of Shelby’s wedding day and follows Shelby as she decides to have a baby despite having Type 1 diabetes.
Ouiser Boudreaux - A wealthy, acerbic (but lovable) curmudgeon.
