    Alternately hilarious and touching, Steel Magnolias centers on the outspoken clientele of a beauty salon in a small Southern town. When sudden tragedy befalls the group of women, they find that their inner strength, and love for each other, pulls them through. Robert Harling's biographical play was also made into a movie starring Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine.

    More Information

    by Robert Harling
    Directed by Ann Kuchins

    The quintessential story of friendship and trust, Steel Magnolias serves up a southern slice of life that's as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie! In the world of Truvy's local-homegrown beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets, fears and love for one another while engaging the audience in hysterical and neighborly gossip. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they share each moment in their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly coiffed hair. When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvy's salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through.

    Hailed by the Daily News as "a finely constructed piece of theatre, as resilient, as funny, as moving, and as bracing as its marvelous title characters," Robert Harling's enduring comedy is a heartfelt celebration of love, loyalty, and the bonds of sisterhood.

    Hillbarn Theatre

    Hillbarn Theatre boasts a sixty-five-year-long history. Beginning as Peninsula Little Theatre in 1934, Hillbarn performed in school auditoriums, under the direction of Robert Brauns, as part of the College of San Mateo Adult Education Program. Hillbarn's founders, Brauns, Sam Rolph and Ralph Schram took the name "Hillbarn" from two outdoor summers at a barn on a hill on the Belmont-San Mateo border. At this site, the traditions of free intermission coffee and a courtyard bonfire were born.
