Preview: Steel Magnolias at Sacramento Theatre Company

Steel Magnolias, now at Sacramento Theater Company, is the heartwarming story of six Louisiana women who gather under the hair dryers at their local beauty salon to share gossip, laughter and the bond of friendship. They sometimes bicker and squabble, but the love is apparent, especially in times of trouble and loss, when they come together to support each other. They are all “as delicate as magnolias, but as tough as steel.” This production features some of Sacramento’s most beloved actresses. Thu 7pm, Fri 8pm, Sat 2pm & 8pm, Sun 2pm & 7pm. Through 12/9; $17-$33; Sacramento Theatre Company, 1419 H Street; (916) 443-6722; sactheatre.org.
