Set entirely in a hair salon, the play is based on Harling's experiences surrounding his sister's death.Directed at Spotlighters by Fuzz Roark (with Assistant Director Paul Saar), Steel Magnolias' all-female cast includes Suzanne Young as Truvy Jones, Valerie Lash as Louisa (Ouiser) Boudreaux, Karen Starliper as Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie, and Melanie Bishop as Mary Lynn Eatenton.Steel Magnolias continues at Spotlighters Theatre until Sunday, July 14.
