Steel Magnolias

By Robert Harling

When Salons go awry!

Truvy’s salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana is THE place for a beauty fix with a hearty side of gossip. People gather from all over as Truvy pampers her small-town clients with hairdos, manicures and all kinds of unsolicited advice. Anybody who’s anybody is a regular: There’s the doting M’Lynn and her soon-to-be-married daughter Shelby, the moody Ouiser and the well-to-do widow Clairee. Through witty banter and wisecracks, this hodgepodge of women form friendships as strong as steel, which they are forced to lean on when tragedy strikes.

Quote: “Warm-hearted and sentimental …” – Guardian

Buzz Words: Powerful | Charming | Resilient

Glimmer Moments: Hair-larious good-time feelings with Southern charm and the connections we build on the road we call Life
