This touching story set in a beauty parlor in Chinquapin, Louisiana, centers around six women who share their regular hair appointments, gossip and important life moments, such as Shelby’s wedding to a “good ole boy.” Over the course of time the bonds strengthen among them as Truvy, Annelle, Ouiser and Clairee comfort M’Lynn through the loss of her child. This story demonstrates how, as Truvy says, “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.”

24 Hours of Giving is Watershed Public Theatre’s annual fundraiser raising much-needed funds to support our next season. Did you know that ticket sales only cover about one-third of our production expenses? We rely on the support of the community for the remaining costs so that WPT can continue to provide accessible arts programs and low-cost professional entertainment and culture to the Southern Middle Tennessee region. You can support WPT with a one-time donation, or set up a recurring monthly donation to provide sustaining support throughout the year. Visit the Support Us page to learn more about perks for sustaining monthly donors, and set up your donation today!
