City Theatre Austin will open the 2023 season with Robert Harling’s comedic gem, Steel Magnolias. In the haven of a Louisiana beauty parlor, where anybody who’s “anybody” gets their hair done, six distinctly different women come together to share secrets, gossip, and bare their souls learning to embrace themselves, and the future, with love and laughter.
The outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the shy yet determined Annelle, the curmudgeonly Ouiser, the eccentric yet sensible Miss Clairee, and the respected and admired M'Lynn and her daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town.
Filled with hilarious Southern repartee and humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play draws on the town’s underlying strength – and love – that gives the story and the characters the special qualities that make them truly touching, funny, and marvelously amiable company … in good times and in bad.
