Set in Truvy’s beauty salon, Steel Magnolias is a touching exploration of the lives of six Southern women over three years. This play beautifully captures their friendships, love, and the loss they endure, particularly through the story of Shelby, a young woman facing the challenges of type 1 diabetes. Her courageous decision to have a child, despite medical warnings, leads to profound consequences that resonate deeply with audiences. At Oconee Community Theater, we celebrate such narratives that reflect our community’s spirit and resilience, inviting you to join us in this emotional journey.
