Lynn native Paula Plum, a graduate of St. Mary’s High and one of New England’s most accomplished actors and directors, will direct the Hub Theatre Company of Boston’s production of “Steel Magnolias” July 19-Aug. 3 at Club Café, 209 Columbus Ave., in Boston’s Back Bay.
Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets to all performances are “Pay-What-You-Can.” Donations of toiletries and beauty supplies will be collected at each performance for local women’s shelters.
The hit film “Steel Magnolias,” on which this production is based, was released 30 years ago. “This is a timeless play that only gets more timely. In today’s political climate, it is essential to have a platform to tell women’s stories, and celebrate their strength and unity,” said Plum.
