April 28, 2023 | pwsadmin |
The ladies of Steel Magnolias are all smiles. The actresses for this well-loved show (l-r) are Donna Schulte, Teresa Ross, Denise Jaeckel Copeland, Annie Heartney, DRae Beller, and Rebecca Lea Evans. Steel Magnolias runs from May 5th through June 3rd at Myers Dinner Theatre in Hillsboro, Indiana.

Myers Dinner Theatre is excited to continue their 2023 Main Stage season a classic comedic drama as we present Steel Magnolias. This heart-warming and funny bone-tickling show will open on Friday, May 5th, with seating for dinner at 6:00 p.m. ET and the meal at 6:30. This play, directed by Dion Stover, will run through Saturday, June 3rd.

Truvy’s salon is Chinquapin, Louisiana’s go-to place for a beauty fix with a hearty side of gossip. Along with her overeager assistant Annelle, Truvy pampers her small-town clients with hairdos, manicures and all kinds of unsolicited advice. Anybody who’s anybody is a regular: There’s the doting M’Lynn and her soon-to-be-married daughter Shelby, the moody Ouiser and the well-to-do widow Clairee. Through witty banter and wisecracks, this hodgepodge group of women form friendships as strong as steel, which they are forced to lean on when tragedy strikes.

This dramatic comedy will feature MDT alumni in the all-female cast. The show will feature Rebecca Lea Evans as Truvy, DRae Beller as Annelle, Teresa Ross as Clairee, Annie Heartney as Shelby, Denise Jaeckel Copeland as M’Lynn, and Donna Schulte as Ouiser.
