Photo Flash: Bristol Riverside Theatre Presents STEEL MAGNOLIAS

By:

Laughter and tears, gossip and home-grown advice are as prevalent as hair rollers in Truvy's Beauty Salon, the setting of the heartwarming comedy-drama Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling, playing at Bristol Riverside Theatre on March 20-April 8.  Susan D. Atkinson directs an ensemble cast of BRT favorites including Jennie EisenhowerDiane Findlay,Laura C. Giknis, Barbara McCullohSusan Moses, and Jo Twiss.

Previews begin Tuesday, March 20 with opening night on Thursday, March 22.  Performances run Wednesday through Sunday until April 8.  Tickets are available from $30-$50, with discounts for students, military and groups.  Tickets are available by visiting brtstage.org or calling the BRT Box Office at 215-785-0100.  Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA.

Set entirely in the beauty parlor of Truvy Jones, Steel Magnolias is about a group of lovable, zany women in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana who share love, laughs, joy and even insults.  The title suggests that female characters are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. This is the unforgettable story of six southern women who stand together laughing in order to survive the tears.  The 1987 off-Broadway hit was developed into a film starring Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis. Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Darryl Hannah, and subsequently revived on Broadway in 2005.
