PARAMOUNT ABILENE PRESENTS

**“STEEL MAGNOLIAS”**

REMEMBERING DOLLY PARTON

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH @ 7:30 PM

“Steel Magnolias” follows a close‑knit group of Southern women—Truvy, M’Lynn, Shelby, Ouiser, Clairee, and Annelle—who gather regularly at a local beauty salon in fictional Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana. Their conversations, humor, and mutual support form the emotional core of the story. The narrative blends warmth and heartbreak, especially surrounding Shelby, a young woman with type 1 diabetes whose health challenges shape the film’s central conflict.
