To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film adaptation that made Robert Harling’s play a modern classic, we are thrilled to open our 36th season with this award-winning comic drama which chronicles the friendship of a group of gossipy southern ladies (played by Alison Cox, Marcia Douglas, Irene Dennis, Lacey Martin, Jeri Misler & Christie Robinson) in a small-town beauty parlor. Alternately hilarious and touching, in the end, this work deeply reveals 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.
