Performance exalts good hair and gossip
By Connie L. Sheehan
Senior Kdiior
Want the chance to premier one of the most
delightful comedies this season even before it
hits the silver screen in Hollywood?
“Steel Magnolias,” an award-winning the
ater piece by Robert Harling will be presented
in conjunction with this year’s Flatwater Film
Festival. This offering from the Nebraska
Repertory Theatre will provide festival-goers a
peck at this film before the version with Sally
Field and Shirley MacLaine hits the screen
next fall.
Set in Chinquapin, Louisiana, the play
opens in Truvy’s beauty shop where regulars
have gathered to beautify for the Saturday
wedding of Shelby, a young local woman.
The need for “good hair” and good gossip
works together to create a social oasis where
six friends escape on Saturday mornings. Here,
friends reminisce, share their dreams and es
cape from the men in their lives.
“Steel Magnolias” reflects on a lime in
Harling’s young life when traditionally, ladies
disappeared on Saturday mornings, only to
return hours later modeling the same hair style.
“Steel Magnolias,” is the first of three
plays offered in the 23rd season of the Ne
braska Repertory Theatre, a professional act
ing company featuring guests artist from across
the U.S.
The production will appear at the Howell
Theatre on the University of Lincoln campus.
Friday and Saturday performances will begin
at 8 p.m.
Tickets are S10 or S8 with a festival button.
