Upcoming Productions
Auburn Area Community Theatre Presents "Steel Magnolias" by Robert Harling
If "Laughter through tears" is your favorite emotion, book your appointment, and come on down to Truvy's, to get your hair done, and hear everything going on in small-town Chinquapin, Louisiana. If you've already seen the 1989 film with Julia Roberts, Sally Field, and Dolly Parton, (or the 2012 Queen Latifa remake)- don't let that dissuade you, regardless of whether you loved or loathed it., The play is much different, and much better! It focuses on the relationships between the six ordinary/extraordinary Southern women, as they gather, sharing their hopes and dreams and, finally, their grief. As the seasons pass at Truvy's, we get a delicious, sweet insight into the kind of lifelong friendships you need to get through the worst of times., Steel Magnolias was selected by our patrons to be a part of AACT's 20th Anniversary Season celebration. $14/adults, $12 Students and Seniors.
