Some instruments will be provided, but bringing your own drum or shaker is recommended too. Chairs provided.
LOCATION CHANGE: Due to the rain, we’ll be drumming under the covered stage at Haddad Riverfront Park — so you can still join the fun, rain or shine.
The Alban Arts Center proudly presents Steel Magnolias.
“Steel Magnolias” is a heartfelt and humorous play written by Robert Harling. Set in a small Louisiana town, the play centers around a close-knit group of Southern women who gather regularly at a local beauty salon run by the no-nonsense Truvy Jones. The story unfolds over a span of about three years, showcasing the daily lives, struggles, and triumphs of these strong, resilient women.
The play explores themes of friendship, family, and the complexities of life through a series of poignant and often humorous scenes. The title itself reflects the essence of the characters: “Steel” symbolizes their strength and resilience, while “Magnolias” represents their delicate and nurturing nature.
Through its blend of humor and emotional depth, “Steel Magnolias” highlights the power of female friendship and the enduring support these women provide each other through life’s ups and downs. The play has been celebrated for its authentic portrayal of Southern life and its ability to resonate with audiences through its relatable characters and heartfelt storytelling.
Location: The Capitol Theater, 123 Summers St.
