National Children's Palace - Great Hall

A seductive comedy about family and friendship.

It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will move you. It will impress you. It will melt you. It will win your heart.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS – A heartwarming story and a delicious comedy: at AVANGARDIA THEATER.

A comedy-drama about how women react to serious crises in the course of life, such as illness and death.

About how to find the strength to move forward and how they can find the strength they need in relationships with loved ones, even if those relationships are marked by differences of opinion or taste.

“Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling offers the audience a charming mix of sweetness, impertinence, tears and laughter…”
