Steel Magnolias - Sauratown Summer Theater


How exciting for the first summer of the Sauratown Summer Theater Series in King to begin the series with "Steel Magnolias".  This is a comedy–drama about the bond among a group of Southern women and I felt that as a cast we did bond together as well during our weeks of rehearsal. Robert Harling wrote the play, based on his experience with the death of his sister. The title suggests the "female characters are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel". 

This is my second production of  Steel Magnolias. The first time I played Quiser but I enjoyed portraying Clariee in this production.  I had fun with my first experience performing in an outdoor play and being a part of the debut of the Sauratown Summer Theater. This was a great group of ladies to work with and the director, stage manager, and props manager all exhibited professionalism from the beginning of the rehearsal schedule to every aspect of the process. It was a great theatre experience!
