Steel Magnolias is set in Trudy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. The story follows six women through the ebb and flow of life and draws on the underlying strength—and love—which gives the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

Steel Magnolias is produced by Community Arts Connection of South Lake and South Lake Theatre Company and Sponsored by the Town of Montverde.

Dear Citizens of Montverde,

We have set up a "Good Neighbor Fund" to help our fellow Montverdians who have become victims of our failing economy. We desperately need donations to help these people with their water bills. We have set criteria for a person to be able to receive help, but now we just need the funds to implement that help. If everyone in this town could donate $5.00 to $10.00 (less than a glass of wine in a restaurant) we could help so many of our fellow citizens that have come upon hard times. We never know when WE may be that someone that needs to ask for help, so please consider giving a small donation for our "friends" in need.

Thank you so much!
