The Department of Theatre will celebrate the college’s 60th Anniversary and the Student Works Festival by presenting Robert Harling’s now classic play. Set in a beauty shop in the deep South, the story of love, friendship, loss, and renewal is explored by an unbreakable group of women. The show will be led by JU alumni and will star Brooks Anne Meierderks (’82), Shirley Kirby (’83), and directed by Erik DeCicco (’05).
