Day 472 Steel Magnolias Play at Milton Players theater group
The popular play Steel Magnolias  will be presented by the Milton Players theater group the first two weekends of November 2012.
In the world of Truvy’s local-homegrown beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets, fears and love for one another while engaging the audience in hysterical and neighborly gossip. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they share each moment in their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly coiffed hair. When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvy’s salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through.
Steel Magnolias balances the light and the heavy, and this production manages that balance with grace and understanding. A subtext, facing illness, certainly strikes home for many of us. One powerful moment for this viewer was when Shelby, who has type 1 diabetes, becomes hypoglycemic and recovers with some juice administered by her mother and the other women in the salon. This captures the caring relationships of the characters. But it is also so familiar if one has lived with diabetics. And some of the proceeds from the 50:50 raffle will be donated to diabetes research. Thank you, Milton Players.
