LUMBERTON — Purple Door welcomes summer with one of America’s most performed comedy, Steel Magnolias.

Summer is for sun, fun and stress release.

What better way to relieve stress and treat yourself than getting your family/friends together for an evening of pure fun. Steel Magnolias, the hit movie starring Dolly Parton, Sally Fields and a young unknown Julia Roberts, is brought to life by a group of brilliant local actresses celebrating the joy, strength, compassion and humor of Southern women.

Performances will be at the PDP Studio Theatre, at 215 E. 4th St. in downtown Lumberton, June 13-16th and June 21-23rd. Evening shows start at 7:30 p.m. and matinees, June 16 and 23, at 3:30 p.m.

To add to the fun, there will be special events for each performance focusing on stress relief and summer self-care: beauty tips/demos, Bath and Body Works facial/body products, hair styling/beard demos and products.

Check and like the event on PDP’s Facebook to see full list of special treats for each performance.

SHELBY’S BARBIE PARTY: To honor Shelby’s love of all things pink, Steel Magnolias will host a “Barbie Party,” June 20, with demonstrations, door prizes, entertainment and Barbie/Ken inspired desserts and drinks.
