A dramatic comedy focusing on a group women who face life’s triumphs and tragedies together! 

Set in a tight-knit community in a small Louisiana town, Truvy’s salon is the go-to place for a beauty fix with a hearty side of gossip. Through witty banter and wisecracks, a hodgepodge group of women navigate the joys and hardships of life. From weddings and births to illness and loss, they find solace and strength in their friendships. Striking a balance between humor and heartache, Steel Magnolias portrays the enduring strength and beauty that can be found in authentic relationships.

Featuring state-of-the-art theatrical lighting and sound, the Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre brings audiences closer to the stories being told. This intimate space puts you within feet of the stage and actors – with the same high-quality designs and productions GREAT is known for at the Paramount Center for the Arts. For Steel Magnolias, you’ll feel as though you are right there in Truvy’s Beauty Spot alongside this group of strong women.
