Among Truvy’s customers is the much admired M’Lynn (Lenore Ferber) , whose beautiful daughter, Shelby (Chrissy Gibson) is about to marry - and whose life will never be the same. What happens between mother/daughter in the next few years in the midst of their supportive (and eccentric) beauty shop friends (Mary Franceschi and Sandy Ryder) forms the framework of this funny, tragic and touching audience favorite, made famous through the Julia Roberts/Sally Fields Oscar-nominated film..

Productions presents The Shadow Box by Michael Cristofer “Extraordinary. An overwhelming emotional experience. Truly startling and in its uncompromising way, very funny.” – Boston Globe In this Pulitzer Prize winning play, three terminal cancer patients dwell in separate cottages on a hospital’s grounds. The play dramatizes their anxieties and their coming to grips with the finality of their condition: a preordained future whose only imponderable is its exact length. The three are attended and visited by family and close friends. This winner of a Tony Award for Best Play and a 1977 Pulitzer Prize is an important, touching, and courageous play which is often as funny as it is moving. All evening shows begin promptly at 8 p.m. with intermission between acts. The Sunday production is a 2 p.m. matinee and no evening performance. Reservations may be made by called 734-483-7345.
