The play "Steel Magnolias" has been enduringly popular since its Off-Broadway debut in 1987. The comedy-drama features a cast of six women, and one set, the Southern beauty parlor in which the women congregate, gossip, argue, and laugh over the course of several years.
Artistic director Andy Berkovsky chose "Steel Magnolias" as City Theatre's holiday production because of its themes of family and togetherness.
The ensemble cast features Samantha Brewer, Heather Bullard, Tracy Hurd, Judith Laird, Sarah Seaton, and Angela Castillo, and the play's directed by Berkovsky. It runs at The City Theatre for five weeks, from Nov. 22 through Dec. 22.
Steel Magnolias November 22 - December 22 Thursday - Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sunday at 5:30 pm (No show on Thanksgiving Day or the day after) The City Theatre, 3823 Airport Blvd.
