Theatre Bristol presents 'Steel Magnolias'

April 29, 2025

Theatre Bristol announces the cast of “Steel Magnolias,” coming May 2 through 11 to the Cameo Theatre and made possible by ENT & Allergy Consultants, Leticia Peltzer, MD. Tickets are on sale at www.TheatreBristol.org/tickets.

Playwright Robert Harling honors his sister with this beloved and award-winning story about mothers, daughters and friends.

In the cast, Truvy Jones is played by Mary Ellis Glymph, M’Lynn Eatenton by Shannon Bolick, Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie by Maddi Rimer, Annelle Dupuy-Desoto by Abby Grace Brotherton, Clairee Belcher by Carla Richards and Ouiser Boudreaux by Kim Mays.

Join these women as they bond and banter at the beauty parlor over relationships — their own and others, as well as family, challenges and tragedy through tears and laughter.

Both hilarious and heartfelt, “Steel Magnolias” is directed by Kenn Naegele, most recently director of Theatre Bristol’s “Oklahoma!,” “Elf The Musical,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and “Annie.”

Naegele is supported by stage manager Beverly Moody, assistant stage manager Carly Street, set designer Camille Gray, costume designer Adriel Slaughter, Prop Artisan Rebecca Ryan, scenic carpenter Luke Gray, tech director Albert Tester and producer Samantha Gray.

Tickets are $16, and $12 for seniors and students, with processing fees, and are available online and pending available seating at the door 30 minutes prior to showtime. Performances are May 2 through 11, Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Seating is general admission and for any special accommodations, call or email the theater.
