Written by Robert Harling, this classic story of friendship and trust presents the story of six different southern women who reveal their endless support for one another.

Once cast, a $20 script fee and completed registration form is required. Rehearsals are tentatively scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. beginning the week of Jan. 5. A full rehearsal schedule will be determined and distributed based on cast availability.
