Steel Magnolias

Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama about the bond among a group of Southern women in Louisiana. As the title suggests, the female characters are “as delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel”.
The play opens at Truvy’s in-home beauty parlour where a group of women regularly gather. They discuss Shelby’s upcoming wedding to her fiancé, Jackson. The plot covers events over the next three years relating to Shelby’s Type 1 diabetes, and with how the women cope with their conflicts, while remaining friends.

Rams – The Movie

In remote Western Australia, two estranged brothers, Colin (Sam Neill) and Les (Michael Caton), are at war. Raising separate flocks of sheep descended from their family’s prized bloodline, the two men work side by side yet are worlds apart. When Les’s prize ram is diagnosed with a rare and lethal illness, authorities order a purge of every sheep in the valley. While Colin attempts to stealthily outwit the powers that be, Les opts for angry defiance. But can the warring brothers set aside their differences and have a chance to reunite their family, save their flock, and bring their community back together?

Rams is rated for PG audiences.
Tickets $10 adults; $5 school pupils.

Steel Magnolias

OSPA is very excited to call for auditions for this amazing play by Robert Harling, which later became the movie we all know and love.

Hilarious and touching, this play for six women is set in a beauty parlour in Louisiana. Through four scenes spannin three years, the staff and customers engage in small-town gossip. But we see a deep strength and purposefulness emerge when Shelby – a diabetic – dies following a kidney transplant operation.

This is going to be a play you won’t want to miss!
