Mountain Community Theater is proud to announce the opening production of our 43rd Season, Steel Magnolias written by Robert Harling and directed by Peter Gelblum. Join us at Truvy’s beauty parlor, where you will meet six hilarious and loving women whose antics will have you laughing through your tears. The production takes place at Ben Lomond’s historic Park Hall, 9400 Mill Street. Subscriber ticket changes and guest ticket purchases open on February 14th, and tickets go on sale to the public on February 28th, 2025. Please join us for an Opening Night Reception immediately following the performance on March 21st. There will be a Community Night on March 22nd, where all tickets are 2 for $25, and a post-show talkback on Sunday, March 30th after the performance. Friday and Saturday shows are at 8:00 p.m. Sunday matinees are at 2:00 p.m.
The basis for the beloved Academy Award-nominated film starring Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts, this bittersweet comedy explores the dynamics of life, love, friendship, and loss in a small-town Louisiana beauty parlor. Truvy, the outspoken owner, dispenses shampoos and free advice to her clients, who gather each week to talk, gab, gossip, needle, and, above all, laugh. And then when tragedy strikes, the friends gather to cry, comfort, support, and repair each other. These women are true steel magnolias: southern belles who are flowery on the outside but strong enough on the inside to survive any challenge, particularly when they stick together.
Steel Magnolias features MCT veterans Manirose Bobisuthi, Lillian Bogovich, Kate Cunningham, Sarah Mitchler, and MarNae Taylor, and a newcomer to the MCT stage, Emerson Kapture.
Steel Magnolias reminds us that friendship, laughter, and life are precious gifts to celebrate under any circumstance.
