USF staging “Steel Magnolias”
The School of Creative Arts at the University of Saint Francis will stage “Steel Magnolias” during the spring semester.
The Robert Harling stage play, directed by Brad Beauchamp, will focus upon love, friendship, sadness and the strength of women as it follows a group of friends who gather each week at a salon in Chinquapin, La. Tough as steel and fragile as the blossoms of magnolia trees, the characters in the heartwarming true story gossip, tease, laugh, fight, cajole and comfort each other as they experience life’s big joys and challenges.
Performances will be in the USF Performing Arts Center at 431 West Berry Street, the former Scottish Rite Center.Performances are Fridays through Sundays on March 23-25 and March 30-April 1, with show times at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is $10. Group discounts are available. Doors will open 30 minutes before show time for general seating.
