Saturday and Sunday March 17 and 18
After an opening weekend of generous attendance and responsive audiences, the cast of “Steel Magnolias” heads into the final two productions Saturday and Sunday March 17 and 18, gratified by its reception and knowing that the restoration project at Wilson Center Auditorium has received a excellent boost.

Cast members, from left, Bev Gross, Sandra Thomasson, Beth Webb, Marci Balogh, Amanda Garner and Susan DeRosa.
“We are most pleased with the turnout opening weekend,” commented director Tom Webb, “and expect our concluding two shows to attract similar numbers. As is typical of most productions, the last shows are somewhat bitter sweet, but we’ll move on to other plays and other stories as we bring new life to Wilson Auditorium.”
The first of two final shows will be Saturday March 17 at 7:30 p.m. That presentation will be followed by the last staging Sunday March 18 and 2 p.m.
As previously, there will be no advance ticket sales, however, reservations may be made by calling the Clinton County Arts Council Gallery, 224-2429 or by calling Webb directly at 224-8982. Admission is $10.00 per person.
