WV Collective is thrilled to present “Steel Magnolias,” a heartwarming and poignant drama that celebrates the strength and resilience of women in a small-town Southern community. Written by Robert Harling, this beloved play unfolds in Truvy’s beauty salon in Louisiana, where six distinct women regularly gather. The salon serves as a sanctuary where these women share personal triumphs and tragedies, support one another, and exchange humorous repartee that is as sharp as it is endearing. As they face life’s challenges, these women prove to be as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel.
THE PRODUCTION
This rendition of “Steel Magnolias” marks a special milestone as it is directed by Olivia Merritt, a passionate local making her directorial debut.
