Yellow Tree Announces Upcoming Season

Steel Magnolias
by Robert Harling
September 23 - October 23
Gather around the hair dryers and eavesdrop as a gaggle of gossipy women get their hair done while gabbing about life, love, and everyone else's business in a Louisiana beauty salon. Truvy's motto, "There is no such thing as natural beauty," sets the tone for an evening of comic and bittersweet banter where the women can get a touch-up of their roots and of their souls in this girlie haven away from the men folk. A beautiful tribute to friendship, community and the power of the human spirit, this critically-acclaimed play is both wonderfully funny and deeply moving.

Still Life with Iris
by Steven Dietz
directed by Andy Frye | February 3 - 26
Set in the magical land of Nocturno, Still Life with Iris is a fantastical adventure chronicling a little girl's search for the simplest of things: home. With the help of her friends including an 11-year-old Mozart and Poe's Annabel Lee, Iris' crusade recovers more than her past. She succeeds in finding herself through the power of faith and the courage of persistence. An imaginative, striking and playful story for all ages!

The Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams
directed by Jon Cranney | April 13 - May 6
In a cramped St. Loius apartment the Wingfield family-the hysterical Amanda, her aspiring poet son, Tom, and her fragile daughter, Laura struggle to survive the battleground of fear and constriction in which they live. Amanda's overbearing behavior cripples her children as they struggle to bear the weight of her impossible expectations. When a gentleman caller arrives for Laura, the small flicker of hope he offers is quickly extinguished as reality comes crashing down on the family. "A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty."-NY Times
