Steel Magnolias Opened Friday to a Standing Ovation

“It’s been such a blessing being in this show! Being back in the theatre and going to rehearsals is like a breath of fresh air,”said actor Paige Latendresse who plays Annelle.

The heartfelt comedy has lots of laughs. It also has a very a touching ending that might have you in tears. At intermission, ushers have joked they should be walking through the aisles with boxes of tissues.

Steel Magnolias runs March 25 to April 17. Tickets are available online and at the box office.

“I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s production and,
