Truvy’s salon is Chinquapin, Louisiana’s go-to place for a beauty fix with a hearty side of gossip. Along with her overeager assistant Annelle, Truvy pampers her small-town clients with hairdos, manicures and all kinds of unsolicited advice. Anybody who’s anybody is a regular: There’s the doting M’Lynn and her soon-to-be-married daughter Shelby, the moody Ouiser and the well-to-do widow Clairee. Through witty banter and wisecracks, this hodgepodge group of women form friendships as strong as steel, which they are forced to lean on when tragedy strikes.
In order to capture the ethnic diversity of the American South, we are looking to cast actors of equally diverse ethnicities. And, as the roles require, a wide range of ages and abilities will also be prioritized.
All roles are available: Truvy (female identifying, 40s); Annelle (female identifying, 20s); Clairee (female identifying, 60s); Shelby (female identifying, mid-20s); M’Lynn (female identifying, early 50s); Ousier (female identifying, 60s) Ages given are playable ages, actors need not specifically fit the given age to audition. Auditioners are asked to prepare one of the monologues listed on the audition website for their audition.
