Steel Magnolias
Directed by Mona Butala
The play is a comedy-drama about the bond between a group of southern women in northwest Louisiana. The title suggests that the women are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. The play takes place in Truvy’s beauty salon where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done.

Nunsense
Directed by Debbie Cable Brown
Written by Dan Goggin, Nunsense is a hilarious musical farce about a convent of nuns staging a fundraiser to enable them to bury the last four nuns of their order who died of botulism in an unfortunate convent cooking accident (and who are temporarily being stored in the freezer!). The Little Sisters of Hoboken (well, what’s left of them) put on this riotous revue packed with hilarious, show-‐stopping song and dance numbers, and always proves to be a crowd favorite.
