Steel Magnolias

The Group Rep Theatre
10900 Burbank Blvd. North Hollywood

Heartfelt, humorous, and moving, this sharp comedy celebrates the unbreakable bond of friendship and the search for family; not necessarily by blood. Set in a small-town Louisiana beauty salon, six strong, witty Southern women navigate life’s triumphs and tragedies with humor, sarcasm, support and grace.

"...Six terrific actresses strut their comedic stuff as a sextet of Louisiana women whose delicate exteriors hide tough-as-steel cores in the Group Rep’s season-opening crowd-pleaser, Robert Harling’s Southern-fried charmer Steel Magnolias."

"...Having risen to popularity thanks to the star-studded 1989 film, Steel Magnolias centers around a group of Southern women who gather in their favorite haunt — Truvy’s beauty parlor — to swap recipes and secrets, and to carry each other through their successes and tragedies. The play is funny, female-forward, surprisingly progressive, and with more than enough scenes that pass the Bechdel test."

"...The tenderness of Steel Magnolias is inherent to the script, and the Group Rep's faithful rendition often conjures a fair degree of warmth."
