Nacogdoches High School Theatre is performing “Steel Magnolias” at 7 p.m., Thursday and Friday, Nov. 12-13, at the NHS auditorium. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and tickets are $5.
The Nacogdoches theatre group last produced Robert Harling’s play “Steel Magnolias” in 2017. NHS theatre teacher Victoria Perry said she had already selected the play for the fall production before the passing in August of Dolly Parton, who starred in the 1989 film based on the play.
The Thursday evening show will also have an ASL interpreter, Perry said.
Perry and NHS math teacher Jeffrey Hopson are directing the production.
