The Historic Holly Theater Presents: STEEL MAGNOLIAS

Play by Robert Harling

An off-Broadway play in 1987 and was made into a successful movie in 1989.  Steel Magnolias is comedy-drama concerned with  a group of gossipy southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor, the play is alternately hilarious and touching-and, in the end, deeply revealing of the strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its characters. "Harling has given his women sharp, funny dialogue...The play builds to a conclusion that is deeply moving." -NY Daily News. "...a skillfully crafted, lovingly evoked picture of eccentricity in the small-town South...Robert Harling is a new voice in the theatre and the qualities of STEEL MAGNOLIAS suggest he may be an important one." -Drama-Logue.
