    logo_redearththeatreCottonwood AZ (October 14, 2018) – At Truvy’s beauty shop in Chinquapin Louisiana the motto is: “There is no such thing as natural beauty.” The women are all sass and brass. Gossip, revelations, and witty Southern banter flow like refreshing sweet tea on a hot summer day. Through clouds of hairspray six Southern spitfires gather each week to gossip and support each other through thick and thin. But those bonds are about to be tested when the ladies face a life-changing event. Infused with heart and humor, Steel Magnolias is a hilarious story of love, loss, and enduring friendship.

    Presented by Red Earth Theatre, Steel Magnolias draws on playwright Robert Harling’s real life experience with his sister’s death, and is a tribute to the love, friendship and support of the female characters who, as the title suggests, are as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel.

     This timeless comedy will have audiences both rolling with laughter and grabbing their handkerchiefs.  The talented ensemble cast includes Red Earth full stage production regulars Terra Shelman as Truvy Jones and Ashlee Threlkeld as Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie, Mary Gladieux as Clairee Belcher, Tricia Greer as M’Lynn Eatenton, and Joan Westmoreland as Ouiser Boudreaux and Red Earth new comer Tisha Taylor as Annelle Dupuy-Desoto.

    Championed by long time Red Earth Theatre actress Terra Shelman, Steel Magnolias is directed by Mindy Mendelsohn. Producing Artistic Director Kate Hawkes says, ‘We are so fortunate to have Mindy at the helm of this production. I personally am delighted to – as a producer – watch this talented cast unfold the show knowing it is in excellent hands.”

    Red Earth Theatre, whose mission is to bring live theatre to the Verde Valley, is thrilled be returning to Old Town Center for the Arts (having previously produced ‘Painting Churches’ and ‘Crushes and Bouquets’ there), with ‘Steel Magnolias’ in the intimate space of Studio B.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
