Steel Magnolias

"Steel Magnolias" by Robert Harling is the Springer Opera House's most-requested comedy. The skillfully crafted, loving picture of Southern eccentricity in all its glory will be performed Jan. 24 through Feb. 9, 2013. The play is set in a small-town beauty salon, whose owner, Truvy, dispenses shampoo and advice to her customers in generous quantities as the hilarious banter propels the play to its deeply moving conclusion. It is a funny, touching and life-affirming story. 

Performances on Jan. 24, 25, 26, 31, Feb. 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 will be at 7:30 p.m. An afternoon show is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 27.
