The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy. ”Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

"13" is a vibrant and energetic musical that follows the story of Evan Goldman, a young boy navigating the challenges of adolescence as he prepares to celebrate his bar mitzvah. Set against the backdrop of middle school, Evan grapples with issues of friendship, peer pressure, and identity as he tries to find his place in the social hierarchy.

"13" reminds audiences that true acceptance comes from being authentic to oneself, even if it means standing out from the crowd. It's a celebration of diversity, friendship, and the journey of self-discovery that resonates with audiences of all ages.

September 6-14
This beloved play beautifully captures the dynamics and relationships among the women who frequent Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana. The witty banter, heartfelt moments, and underlying themes of love and resilience make it a timeless classic. The characters, from the sassy Truvy to the cantankerous Ouiser, each bring their own unique charm to the story. And while the play navigates through both humorous and poignant moments, it ultimately delves into the profound bonds of friendship and the strength that arises in the face of adversity.
