Due to popular demand (and a very energetic cast) there will be an encore performance of the popular play Steel Magnolias on Friday, April 22 only!
Resident artist Kendrix Singletary directs the theater’s return to community theater productions. Steel Magnolias is a comedy–drama play about the bond among a group of Southern women in northwest Louisiana. Written by Robert Harling, and based on his experience with his sister’s death, the title suggests the “female characters are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel.” The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree they are arguing about at the beginning.
Tickets $23 or $17 each with the advance purchase of 10 or more. Students $10. Perfect for churches and other organizations – or just a group of friends!
A first play which met with immediate critical and popular acceptance in its premier production by New York’s WPA Theatre. 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.
Tickets can be purchased any time on-line at www.carolinaciviccenter.com or in person or by telephone 1-5 pm weekdays through the theater’s administrative offices, or by calling the theater at 738-4339 Ext. 106. The Theater lobby box office opens for ticket sales one hour prior to a performance.
