STEEL MAGNOLIAS at CCT
Six Shows over Two Weekends: April 17 – 26, 2026
Caribbean Community Theatre continues its 41st season with STEEL MAGNOLIAS – a tragicomedy by Robert Harling.
There are six performances over two weekends of this play at CCT: Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., April 17-18 and 24-25, 2026, and two matinee shows at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 19 and 26.
This play is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Louisiana, where all the ladies who are anybody come to have their hair done. Helped by her new assistant, Annelle, Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, an eccentric millionaire, the local social leader, and Shelby, who is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Based on a true story of the playwright’s family, this beautifully written play is filled with hilarious repartee and acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions.
“…a skillfully crafted, lovingly evoked picture of eccentricity in the small-town South…” –Drama-Logue
“Harling has given his women sharp, funny dialogue…The play builds to a conclusion that is deeply moving.”
– New York Daily News
Christine Thomas directs the cast of Steel Magnolias: Malerie Gleason, Azadi Knight, Beth Moss Mahar, Heather McRae, Kathleen Minnis and Lynn Senter.
