'Steel Magnolias' Coming to Hot Springs Theatre

One of my all-time favorite movies is “Steel Magnolias.” I have seen it multiple times and each time it is still very funny and emotional, even though I know what’s coming.
            We’ll have an opportunity once again to see “Steel Magnolias” in Hot Springs. This time it won’t be the movie, but a stage production at the Pocket Theatre. I can hardly wait!
            The Dramatists Play Service describes the play as, “Concerned with a group of gossipy southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor, the play is alternately hilarious and touching-and, in the end, deeply revealing of the strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its characters.”
            Pocket Theatre is one of many art forms in Hot Springs. The Theatre was begun in 1991, has grown and moved several times and, in 2005, acquired their building, the former Ramble Elementary School, which was closed in 1967. The Theatre is situated at the corner of Ravine and Ramble Streets off Park Avenue in downtown Hot Springs.
            The play takes place Feb. 7-9 and 14-16 with evening performances and some matinees. For more information go to www.pockettheatre.com.

            The Diamondhead community supports all the arts in Hot Springs and is always excited when new productions are in town. If you come to Hot Springs to see “Steel Magnolias,” we’d love to have you come out for a tour of Diamondhead. It’s a terrific community on Lake Catherine and a wonderful place to live and enjoy all the Hot Springs arts. Give us a call at 501.520.9201 or 501.262.9310 for more information on Diamondhead.
