This touching, funny, and uplifting play is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to get their hair done. The cast of characters ranges from the "prettiest girl in town" to the town's rich curmudgeon. Their interactions as they deal with life's highs and lows, and the enduring strength of their friendship in the face of adversity will keep the audience entertained and inspired.
