Director Becky Craft and Assistant Director Glen Pruitt will be holding open auditions

Sunday, March 2 and Monday, March 3, 2025 from 6:00p to 8:00p at SSP'S Riverfront Theater, 2 S. Walnut St., Milford. Call backs (if needed), will be held at 6:00p, Wednesday, 5, 2025, also at the Riverfront Theater.

The show is performed by a cast of six women. Additional information on cast breakdown may be found on the SSP website, secondstreetplayers.com. Auditions shall consist of a cold reading from the script. Those auditioning are to provide a HEADSHOT (amateur or professional) to the Director that will be part of the audition form; photos will not be returned.

Set in Louisiana, the ladies who are "anybody," go to Truvy’s beauty salon to have their hair done. Helped by her new assistant, Annelle, outspoken Truvy not only does hair, but provides free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter Shelby will be marrying “a good ole boy.” Filled with humor, verbal repartee, love and loss, the ladies are confronted with their own mortalities while drawing strength and love from each other.

Performance dates are Friday thru Sunday, May 9, 10, 11 and 16, 17 18, 2025. To be considered for casting, those auditioning must be available for all performances and during the two weeks prior to opening night.

Any questions may be emailed to the Director, Becky Craft, to rcbeach@comcast.net.

A perennial favorite on stage that was adapted into a popular film, Steel Magnolias is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service (dramatists.com).

Second Street Players values diversity and inclusion in casting, and in all other areas of production. The show is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowments of the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.

Steel Magnolias Cast Breakdown

Truvy: The owner of Truvy's Salon. Truvy wears the brightest clothes and has the fanciest hairdos of all the characters. She knows everyone’s business and tells anyone who will listen, with the sweetest southern intent known to man. (Female, able to play 45-60 years old)

M’Lynn Eatenton: Mother of Shelby Eaton. Career woman whose lifelong desire has been to support her family and her community, all while meeting the Shelby's special needs while growing up with diabetes. Restrained and professional, as one would expect from her job as the head of a mental health clinic. Worries "just" a little too much about Shelby. (Female, able to play 45-55)

Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie: The prettiest girl in town but not weighted down by ego. Favorite color is pink and all shades thereof. A true southern belle. Rebels under the weight of her mother’s over-protective nature. (Female, able to play mid-20’s)

Clairee Belcher: Widow of the former mayor of Chinquapin, LA. Wealthiest woman in town and has been coming to Truvy's salon forever. World traveler and sharp dresser who shoots for perfection in all things. (Female, able to play 55-early 70's)

Ouiser Bourdeaux (pronounced "Weezer"): Wealthy curmudgeon who thrives on finding things to complain about, but really has a heart of love and loyalty. Her best friend is Clairee but she loathes to admit it. Her attire is the polar opposite of Clairee, in that her appearance means nothing to her. (Female, able to play 55- early 70’s)

Annelle Dupuy-Desoto: Shy, awkward, new to Chinquapin after having been left by her loser boyfriend. Truvy's mentee in the salon, learning to refine her hair expertise. Transitions from soft-spoken and shy, to a bible-thumping Christian who wears her heart on her sleeve. (Female, able to play early 20’s)
