The beloved southern classic ‘Steel Magnolias’ blooms at the Off Broadway Palm
The Off Broadway Palm Theatre is now staging the timeless comedy-drama Steel Magnolias, playing now through Nov. 15. This heartfelt and humorous story about the strength of female friendship and the resilience of the human spirit has captured the hearts of audiences for decades and is now taking the stage in Fort Myers.
Set in a small-town Louisiana beauty salon, Steel Magnolias follows a close-knit group of women as they share in each other’s joys, sorrows, and everything in between. With sharp wit, laugh-out-loud humor, and touching moments, this play is both a celebration of friendship and a moving reminder of life’s fragility.
Written by Robert Harling, Steel Magnolias first premiered in 1987 and quickly became an audience favorite, later inspiring the hit 1989 film starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, and Julia Roberts. Beloved for its warmth, humor, and unforgettable characters, it continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.
The Off Broadway Palm Theatre, located inside Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, offers an intimate setting perfect for experiencing this heartfelt story up close. Meal and show packages are available, making for a complete afternoon or evening of laughter, love, and Southern charm.
