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.
