Truvys Beauty Salon is the unofficial hub of Chinquapin, La. It is here that these softhearted magnolias with the steely disposition come to chitchat with, counsel, criticize and comfort one another. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (Briana Berthiaume), who is not sure whether or not she is still married, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy (Leslie Rusher) dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser (Regan Linton), (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee (Amber Marsh), who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn (Lucy Roucis), whose daughter, Shelby (Lyndsay Palmer), is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Steel Magnolias is alternately hilarious and touching.
