Emerald Coast Theatre Company Presents Steel Magnolias

Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) is proud to present Steel Magnolias February 24 - March 5, 2023.

Make an appointment at Truvy’s Beauty Salon and get all the latest gossip from Shelby, M’Lynn, and the rest of the magnolias as they navigate life’s greatest joys and tragedies. Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, you will find a little piece of yourself in each of the characters. Filled with so much heart and warmth, Steel Magnolias touches on the gentle strength and courage that every woman carries within them as they support each other through the good times and bad. Written by Robert Harling. Directed by Marci Duncan. ECTC is proud to host guest director Marci Duncan, an accomplished actress and director.

Steel Magnolias will be staged in ECTC’s main space located on the second floor of 560 Grand Boulevard in Grand Boulevard Town Center. Tickets range from $28 - $36 depending on the show time/day. There is an additional processing fee for ticket purchases. Purchase tickets online at www.emeraldcoasttheatre.org.

Save the date for ECTC’s upcoming performance of The Sound of Music (May 5 - 14). Stay tuned for a Theatre for Young Audiences Performance of You and Me Under the Sea - April 1 and 8, 2023.
