OPPA! in Layton Utah opens the acclaimed play Steel Magnolias May 10th with shows running through May 19th.

Everyone's favorite ladies from Chinquapin, Louisiana, return in Robert Harling's award-winning stage comedy, offering audiences a hearty helping of love, laughter and tears.

It's the 1980s in Louisiana and at Truvy's beauty shop the motto is: "There is no such thing as natural beauty." The women are all sass and brass. Gossip, revelations, and witty Southern banter flow like refreshing sweet tea on a hot summer day. Through clouds of hairspray and over the buzz of blow dryers, six Southern spitfires gather each week to gossip and support each other through thick and thin. But those bonds are about to be tested when the ladies face a life-changing event. Infused with heart and humor, Steel Magnolias is a hilarious story of love, loss, and enduring friendship.

Directed by Michael Nielsen, Steel Magnolias showcases amazing local talent in this ensemble cast. The Cast includes Jennifer Ericksen (M'Lynn), Hailey Parnell and Eva TerraNova (Shelby), Carole Taylor (Ousier), Barbara Bellows-TerraNova and April Daw (Clairee), Kara Bechtel (Truvy) and Jill Savoie (Annelle).

"This show is about relationships and how we interact with each other" said Michael Nielsen "It's more than amazing writing and funny jokes, its about the deeper love and connection we have for each other."

OPPA! exists to educate, entertain, and inspire children, adults and audiences with theatrical productions that range from musicals, plays, and new works; we train and support the next generation of theatre artists; we provide arts education programs that promote life-long learning; and we celebrate the power of theatre to bring together our community.
