Casting Call for "Steel Magnolias" Play

Performers needed for "Steel Magnolias" play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Truvy’s salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, is a gathering place and sanctuary for a closeknit group of women from the neighborhood. Recently widowed Clairee is adjusting to life without her husband, who was the town’s former mayor. Ouiser, a wealthy curmudgeon, finds any excuse to bicker and complain. Truvy has hired young Annelle just in time to get Shelby and her mother, M’Lynn, ready for Shelby’s wedding later that day, and the women’s excitement fills the beauty shop with gossip, warmth and familiarity. When the normally friendly Shelby suddenly becomes cranky, everyone realizes her blood sugar has dropped, and the women fuss over her and give her juice until she’s recovered. Shelby’s health is fragile because she’s diabetic, which makes M’Lynn worry about her daughter’s choices and the physical toll Shelby’s body may not be able to bear. Over the next few years, as Clairee fills the void left by her husband’s death, Annelle embraces life in Chinquapin and Ouiser strikes up a new friendship, Truvy’s salon remains at the center of their lives and becomes an oasis when tragedy strikes.
