About Steel Magnolias
Written by Robert Harling, the action is set in Truvy's (
Penry Gustafson) beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (
Stephanie Keel) (who is not sure whether or not she is still married,) the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser (
Cecilia Stevenson,) ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years";) an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee (
Julie McCallum,) who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn (
Kristin Cobb,) whose daughter, Shelby--"the prettiest girl in town" (
Jessica Butel,) is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with great Southern lines and acerbic repartee, the play takes the audience through a delightfully funny story which moves toward tragedy when an unexpected death occurs. The sudden realization of their mortality affects them all, but it also draws on the underlying strength and love of its characters and the writer's special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company both in good times and in bad.

About the Artist
Nicole Heere is a Texas born painter inspired by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Shepard Fairey and Banksy. She paints dramatic portraits using techniques on the crossroad between pop and realism. Nicole implements the use of house paint and oil paint creating the balance between pop art mediums and traditional mediums. Yet where many modem masters have patriarchal subjects, Nicole falls back on her southern feminine roots and grounds her characters in traditional female roles. All this results in provocative and empowering paintings that challenge cultural identities and stereotype. Her fast emergence as a promising artist has not gone unnoticed. The Dallas Morning News called her work "particularly noteworthy." Additionally, her work has been featured in Origin Magazine, Literacy Head, Point of Vue Magazine, Patron Magazine, Brilliant Comers and the Diego Files.
In February 2016 Nicole's paintings were a trending topic on Instagram and in March 2016 she was a featured artist at Design Night Out Miami. Nicole's art has also gained a following in Europe as it was featured in an advertising campaign by Laznia Nowa Theatre Poland. Her painting "Mommy's Little Helpers" was used on billboards and posters throughout the city of Krakow, Poland.
Nicole Heere is currently under a new exclusive contract with The French Art Network Galleries in New Orleans, LA. Read more about Nicole Heere on her website at www.nicoleheere.com. Note: Images may contain adult subject matter.
