The Miss Magnolia

Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant

a comedy by Leslie Kimbell

The Four Old Broads are back, with some wacky new friends, in an all-new comedy! Against her better judgement, Lurleen Dupree is throwing the Seventh Annual Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant. Martha Parcell is certain that it is finally her year to win and will do ANYTHING to win. But Beatrice, Eaddy, Imogene, and Maude have other plans. Throw in a tambourine-playing squirrel, a Christmas-obsessed octogenarian, dueling Elvises, and an unfortunate spray-tanning incident and you’re in for a knee-slapping, side-splitting night of live theatre. 

Directed by Leslie Evans
