Six girls from the advanced acting class at Los Altos High School will perform Robert Harling’s drama “Steel Magnolias” at 7 p.m., Thursday through Saturday.
The play is set in a Louisiana beauty salon called Truvy’s, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done.
Helped by her eager new assistant Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon: eccentric millionaire Ouiser; social leader Miss Clairee; and M’Lynn, whose daughter Shelby is set to marry a “good ole boy.”
Through the ups-and-downs of life these six women stick together facing unspeakable tragedy. The sudden realization of their mortality affects all the women, but also draws on their underlying strength – and love.
Performances will take place in Room 410 at Los Altos High School, 201 Almond Ave.
Tickets are $6 and $8.
For tickets and more information, call Nancy Moran at 960-8301.
