CTD presents the five-year old revival of its extremely successful and critically acclaimed production with many of CTD’s original cast, including Stephanie Young-Brem, Tippi Hunter, Sue Loncar, Sandra Looney, and Ouida White. The show is a hilarious and touching story of a group of gossipy southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor in Chinquapin, Louisiana. Helped by her eager new assistant, the wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, an eccentric millionaire, the local social leader, and the prettiest girl in town.

“Steel Magnolias may turn out to be the most endearing of the southern comedies… At Contemporary Theatre of Dallas, certainly, it looks like a genuine classic.”
- Lawson Taitte — Dallas Morning News
