Auditions - Steel Magnolias

March 1st and 2nd at 6:30, Coligny Theatre

Sea Glass Stage Company is casting for our upcoming production of Steel Magnolias—a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply moving story of friendship, resilience, and Southern charm.

Set in a small-town Louisiana beauty salon, Steel Magnolias follows six strong, witty women as they navigate love, loss, and life’s biggest moments together. This beloved classic blends laugh-out-loud comedy with powerful emotional depth, offering actors the chance to create rich, memorable characters and meaningful connections onstage.

We are casting all roles and welcome performers of all experience levels. Strong acting skills, emotional honesty, and a willingness to work collaboratively are essential.
