STEEL MAGNOLIAS September 3-12, 2009
Auditions for Steel Magnolias will be on Wednesday July 15 beginning at 4:00p.m. at the Ebensburg Rehearsal Hall located at 526 W. Ogle Street, Ebensburg. The production is under the direction of Ms. Robin Reese – Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts – Penn State – Altoona. Robin made her directorial debut in 2008 with Cresson Lake’s production of Chase Me Comrade.
Steel Magnolias was originally presented at the WPA Theatre in New York City on March 22, 1987. The curtain rises on Truvy’s beauty shop in the quaint well-kept Louisiana hamlet a local group of women congregate at Truvy's Beauty Spot, where they gossip and giggle while preparing one another for life's little tragedies and triumphs. The close-knit women at Truvy's Beauty Salon, the unofficial hub of Chinquapin have lots of time to gossip. Their husbands - absent, depressed, or dead have made sure of it and consequently visitors to the salon get more than a wash and cut.
The Cast of six women include:
Truvy – owner of the beauty shop, outspoken, wise-cracking.
Annelle - beauty shop assistant (who is not sure whether or not she is still married)
Clairee Belcher – widow of former mayor, Grande dame.
Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie – Prettiest girl in town.
M’ Lynn Eatenton – Shelby’s mother socially prominent career woman.
Ouiser – Wealthy Curmudgeon. Acerbic but loveable.
