West Springfield, MA (10/14/25) – West Springfield’s Majestic Theater will present the second production of its 28th season when Steel Magnolias takes the stage October 23 through November 30. The Majestic Theater is located at 131 Elm Street in West Springfield, MA.
Steel Magnolias, written by Robert Harling, blends humor with moments of emotional depth. Set in a small southern beauty salon, the play showcases a group of strong-willed women who navigate life’s challenges with sharp humor and unfiltered honesty. From snappy one-liners to playful gossip, the women’s interactions are full of comedic moments, with characters using laughter as a coping mechanism in the face of life’s toughest trials. The 1987 play inspired a hit 1989 film that starred Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Olympia Dukakis, Daryl Hannah and Julia Roberts.
The Majestic Theater’s Producing Director Sue Dziura will direct the play. Alexandra O’Halloran is stage manager, and Michael Garcia is assistant stage manager. Scenic designer is Juliana Von Haubrich and Dawn McKay is costume designer. Dan Rist is lighting designer, and Marcus Kearns is production manager.
The cast includes MaConnia Chesser (Clairee), Cate Damon (M’Lynn), Kait Rankins (Annelle), Angela Dias (Ouiser), Elaine Hom (Truvy), and Raya Malcolm (Shelby). Understudies include Myka Plunkett, Rachel Lamarre and Laurie Nickerson.
