Don’t miss the O’FallonTheatreWorks’ (OTW) production
of the comedy-drama, Steel Magnolias, on
the stage at O’Fallon’s Municipal
Centre (City Hall), 100 North Main
Street, O’Fallon Missouri 63366. Performances will
be held November 30 – December 2, and December 7-9. The curtain goes up at 8
p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Written by Robert Harling, the action takes place in a home beauty salon
in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have
their hair done by Truvy, who dispenses down-home observations along with
shampoos and permanents to her clients (“When it comes to pain and suffering,
she’s right up there with Elizabeth Taylor;”): Ouiser, the town’s rich
curmudgeon (“The only reason people are nice to me is I have more money than
God;”); Miss Clairee (“If you don’t have anything nice to say about anybody,
come sit by me;”) and M’Lynn, a social leader whose daughter, Shelby, the
prettiest girl in town, is getting married.
Steel Magnolias is laced with repartee delivered by women whose inner
strength, deep bond for one another, and willingness to poke fun makes them marvelous
company in good times and bad.
