The production seeks six women for the following roles:

Anelle Dupuy-Desoto (19): New to town and seeking work as a hair stylist at Truvy’s salon. She is shy, creative, and gracious toward the women she meets.

Clairee Belcher (66): Wealthy widow of the former mayor. She is sarcastic, loves to laugh and poke fun, and is a lifelong friend of Ouiser.

Ouiser (pronounced “Weezer”) Boudreaux (66). Wealthy curmudgeon. Acerbic but loveable. Unique personality and sense of humor. Lifelong friend to Clairee; the two of them act like bickering siblings.

Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie (25): Excited bride-to-be and daughter of M’Lynn. Kind and hopeful, she loves the color pink and has Type 1 diabetes but refuses to be seen as fragile.

M’Lynn Eatenton (50s): Shelby’s mother. Loving but over-protective, she feels the need to control everything and meddles from a place of love, especially regarding her daughter’s health.
