RCT Presents: Steel Magnolias

This classic play by Robert Harling is set in a small-town beauty salon in Louisiana, where six women bond over gossip, laughter, and tears. The play focuses on the relationship between M’Lynn and her daughter Shelby, who suffers from diabetes and decides to have a child despite the risks. Steel Magnolias is a tribute to the strength and resilience of women who face life’s challenges with grace and humor.

Cory Crowe talks with Chanley Patterson and Mary Elizabeth Halbrook from Ruston Community Theatre about the upcoming Ruston Community Theatre production.

Originally from Monroe, Cory has worked in a variety of media. He has worked in television news and spent seven years as a TV sports play-by-play announcer.
