Join us at Truvy’s beauty parlor, and meet the six hilarious and heartwarming women of Steel Magnolias, whose antics in the salon will have you laughing through the tears. The ladies gossip and spar, but ultimately the strength of their bond is revealed as they stand by one another to face both the good times and bad.
"A fashion designer returning to acting makes her professional debut in Virginia Rep’s Steel Magnolias." - By David Timberline

With great affection and respect, we dedicate this production of Steel Magnolias to the memory of Jennifer Louise Clevenger, nee Frank, who acted with Virginia Rep in several locations, including here at Hanover Tavern. She and her husband Jeff were/are favorite crowd-pleasers with audiences at almost every theatre in town. By day, Jennifer thrived as a Senior Business Analyst with the Markel Corporation. By night, she achieved equal success as one of the funniest, quirkiest, most lovable actors to tread the RVA boards. Cherished by her fellow theatre artists, Jennifer left us far too soon. Her warm and energized spirit will be remembered forever.
