SO - what do you do when the lights go out?
If you are in the theater, you pull out your cell phones, hand out flashlights, and finish Act 2! Bravo to the intrepid cast, crew and audience of “Steel Magnolias” Friday night - the show DID go on! 👍

Sometimes - just sometimes - the director will play a little trick on his cast, especially when they have nailed their parts and the rehearsals are solid. Like this night. The baby photos Shelby is showing her friends have been swapped out for the ugliest baby pics ever. Kudos to the cast who still remembered their lines through guffaws of laughter! Ben Chumley directed, and enjoyed the moment tremendously.
"Steel Magnolias" is running for the last weekend at the TLT Workshop Theater in Tryon (May 14-17). Tickets are available at www.tltinfo.org, or by calling 828-859-2466.

Yes, "Steel Magnolias" can be heartbreaking at times, but the show is about resilience, friendship, laughter and love. The women in the show are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel. Cat Rondeau plays M'Lynn Eatenton, dealing with one of life's tragic moments.
Directed by Ben Chumley, this beloved play is coming up for its last weekend at the TLT Workshop Theater in Tryon. Tickets are going fast, so don't wait. Visit www.tltinfo.org, or call 828-859-2466 for tickets.

Audiences have watched Maggie Carter since she started acting and singing in the youth productions at the age of 12. Thankfully, she is still pursuing her passion. Recently in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Marvelous Wonderettes, and Gypsy, she is gracing the stage as Annelle in TLT's "Steel Magnolias", playing for the last weekend at the TLT Workshop Theater. She's a recent graduate of Southern Hew Hampshire University and is currently pursuing an MFA in fiction writing.
The last weekend for the show is coming up, and tickets are selling fast - Sunday is sold out! So don't wait - get your tickets before you miss it. Visit www.tltinfo.org, or call 828-859-2466 for tickets.

What interesting characters these two play. Holly Shockley and Donna Everett-Ferguson portray Clairee and Ouiser in "Steel Magnolias", the season closer at the TLT Workshop Theater in Tryon. They are always jabbing at each other with comments like "you're almost chipper today. Why are you in such a good mood? Did you run over a small child or something?"
Ben Chumley directed this heartwarming/heartbreaking show, and the ladies in the cast become one with their roles, building relationships with each other that reflect those in the narrative.
Sunday seats are already sold out, but the show is gearing up again on Thursday night for the last weekend run, May 14-17. Visit www.tltinfo.org, or call 828-859-2466 to reserve your seats.

It's Sunday. What could be more appropriate than Annelle Dupuy-Desoto practising her new-found faith? In TLT's "Steel Magnolias" the young, new employee of the hair salon has gone through some pretty rough months since she moved to town - a broken and abusive marriage, then going off the rails and running around smoking - thank goodness she found the Riverview Baptist Church!
Maggie Carter plays Annelle, and you don't want to miss her performance in this wonderfully heartfelt play. Running for one more weekend, May 14-17, at the TLT Workshop Theater in Tryon, tickets are available at www.tltinfo.org, or you can call 828-859-2466 to reserved your seat.

M'Lynn (Cat Rondeau) plays Shelby's mother in "Steel Magnolias", playing now at the TLT Workshop Theater in Tryon. Shelby (Elizabeth Turner) has some news for her mother when she comes home for Christmas, but is hesitant to tell her. She just knows her Mama isn't going to be happy.

Family dynamics and the emotional landscape women have to navigate in this funny, but heart-wrenching play, will keep you on the edge of your seats. If you don't have tickets yet, don't hesitate. Playing for the last 2 weekends, May 7-10 and May 14-17, tickets are available online at www.tltinfo.org, or by calling 828-859-2466.

Holly Shockley says she is stepping out of her comfort zone (and into the beauty shop) with "Steel Magnolias", her first non-musical production with TLT. Ever a lover of quirky characters with a little sass, some of her highlight roles with TLT have been in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Marvelous Wonderettes, and The Great American Trailer Park Musical. She has also had the fun of bringing her talent and sassiness to the stage in Southern California! But her favorite audience is her kindergartners and the students of Boiling Springs Elementary School.
But she has a message for us too: " To all the strong women who have held each other’s hands and hearts in friendship and encouraged laughter through tears- these shows are for you!"
Come see her in "Steel Magnolias", playing for the last 2 weekends: May 7-10 and May 14-17, at the TLT Workshop Theater. Tickets are available by calling 828-859-2466, or go online at www.tltinfo.org.
