FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
In Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.”
Steel Magnolias closes the Athens Community Theatre Mainstage 2025 - 26 season. Show dates and times are Fridays, and Saturdays, April 17, 18, 24, and 25 at 7:00 PM, and Sundays April 19 and 26 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are on sale now. ACT tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets early, as ACT events tend to sell out on, or before, the performance date.
Athens Community Theatre Mainstage Series includes multigenerational productions, dramatic classics, and celebrated musicals, in our Sue E. Trotter Black Box Theater. Prices for ACT tickets range from $15 to $25. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets early, as ACT shows tend to sell out on, or before, show dates.
