This play focuses on the comaderie of six Southern women. The women, who gather at Truvy's beauty parlour, in Chinquapin, Louisiana, are the steel magnolias of the title: Southern belles, flowery on the outside, but strong enough inside to survive any
challenge.

Alternately hilarious and touching,
this play focuses on the relationships
between these six women who talk,

gab, gossip, chitchat, needle and harangue each other through the best of times - and cry, caress, comfort and repair one another through the worst.

This play was the predecessor to the movie by the same title.
