About the Play

Set in Truvy's beauty salon in a small Louisiana town, Steel Magnolias celebrates the strength, humour, love and resilience of six remarkable women whose friendships help them face life's greatest joys and deepest heartbreaks. Filled with laughter, unforgettable characters and touching moments, this timeless comedy-drama has become a favourite with audiences around the world.

Characters

We are seeking six women of various ages. Ages listed are approximate and flexible.

Truvy Jones (40s–50s)
Owner of the beauty salon. Outgoing, witty, warm and full of Southern charm.

Annelle Dupuy-Desoto (18–30)
The shy, awkward new assistant who gradually blossoms into a confident young woman.

Clairee Belcher (60+)
An elegant, wealthy widow with a sharp wit and wonderful sense of humour.

Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie (20s–30s)
Beautiful, spirited, determined and full of life despite significant health challenges.

M'Lynn Eatenton (50s)
Shelby's loving and fiercely protective mother. Strong, compassionate and the emotional heart of the play.

Ouiser Boudreaux (50s–70s)
The town's lovable curmudgeon. Eccentric, outspoken and hilariously blunt, with a heart of gold beneath her gruff exterior.
