The Seed Theatre at Sanctuary Performing Arts will present Steel Magnolias, written by Robert Harling and directed by local artist Brenton Haley, March 24-27.
Review for Steel Magnolias:
M'Lynn (Elizabeth Haley) is the mother of bride-to-be Shelby Eatenton (Veronica Miller), and as friend Truvy Jones (Jessie Knowles) fixes the women's hair for the ceremony, they welcome a helping hand from aspiring beautician Annelle Dupuy Desoto (Ophelia Nyx). Along the way, Ouiser (Evelyn Wall) and Clariee (Melissa “Red” Springfield) help out. Diabetic Shelby has a health scare, which is averted but doesn't bode well for her hopes of having children. Time passes, and the women and their friends encounter tragedy and good fortune, growing stronger and closer in the process.
