In Historic Partnership With The Town Of Ramapo

Written by Robert Harding. Directed by Dana Duff. Steel Magnolias is a heartwarming tale set in a small-town Southern community. The play revolves around the lives of a close-knit group of women who share their joys, sorrows, and triumphs. The play beautifully portrays the strength, resilience, and enduring connections among these steel magnolias—women who are delicate like magnolias but tough as steel.
