About the Show

Set in a lively beauty salon in northwestern Louisiana, Steel Magnolias proves that gossip, grit, and grace go hand in hand. Over the span of three years, six unforgettable women gather regularly for hair appointments and heart-to-hearts, sharing triumphs, heartbreaks, and plenty of laughs along the way. As life throws its toughest curveballs, these women lean on one another with humor, honesty, and fierce devotion. Hilarious and deeply moving, this beloved play is a joyful tribute to resilience, friendship, and the extraordinary bonds between women.

Check out the Town Hall happy hour from 6:00-6:30pm and 1:00-1:30pm, and enjoy a $1 off all beer, wine, and cocktails! Relax in the lobby 1 hour before each performance, and delight in live music provided by local Bay Area musicians.

Content Advisory: Steel Magnolias, while a comedy, explores themes including illness, medical complications, grief and death. Though often humorous and warm, the play also includes emotionally intense moments that may be difficult for some audience members.
