				Steel Magnolias a play June 13,14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, & 29th 2008 directed by Sue Quiriconi Steel Magnolias, by Robert Harling, is a 1987 off-Broadway play, made into a successful movie in 1989. Based on the author's experience with the death of his sister, Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama about the bond among a group of southern women in northwest Louisiana. The action centers around Truvy's beauty parlor and some women who regularly gather there. The drama begins on the morning of Shelby's wedding to Jackson and covers events over the next few years, including Shelby's decision to have a child despite being diabetic and the consequences that result from the decision. We also get a glimpse of the unlikely friendship between Clairee and Ouiser; Annelle's transformations from a shy, anxious newcomer in town, to a partying woman, then to a religious fundamentalist; and Truvy's relationships with the men in her family. Although the main storyline involves Shelby, her mother, and Shelby's battle with her medical condition, the underlying group-friendship among all six women is prominent throughout the drama.   Friday, June 13, 8pm Saturday, June 14, 8pm Sunday, June 15, 7pm Friday, June 20, 8pm Saturday, June 21, 8pm Sunday, June 22, 7pm Friday, June 27, 8pm Saturday, June 28, 8pm Sunday, June 29, 7pm Cabrielle Snow as Shelby Kathy Chase as Clariee Dani Lane as Ouiser Amanda Povlock as Annelle Carole Catherine as Truvy Diana Smoot as M'lynn   Tickets: TBA Box Office (219) 875-7509 DUMES SUMMER THEATRE BACK TO COMPLETE SHOW LIST
