*ABOUT THE PLAY*

A combination of friendship, love, philosophy, humor, and pathos hold together six gossipy southern ladies who meet regularly in ‘Truvy’s Beauty Shop”, in the 1980s.

The story is alternatively hilarious and touching. When the sudden realization of their mortality affects each of them, it draws on their underlying strength – and love. This shared bond gives the play’s characters a special quality that makes them truly heartfelt, funny, and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

They’re my kind of people!
