Truvy Jones runs a successful beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies in the neighborhood have a standing Saturday appointment. Along with her anxious and eager assistant, Annelle, Truvy styles the hair of many of the women about town: wealthy widow and former first lady of Chinquapin, Clairee Belcher; local curmudgeon Ouiser Boudreaux; intelligent and compassionate career woman M’Lynn; and her daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town who is about to marry a “good ole boy.”

Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the women of Chinquapin makes their ways over life’s many hurdles together, finding comfort (and a fair amount of verbal ribbing) in one another.

Premium ticket holders are invited to enjoy Shelby’s wedding reception during intermission.
