STEEL MAGNOLIAS Stage Production
JOIN US AT LSMSA TREEN AUDITORIUM
Northwestern State University’s upcoming production of Robert Harling’s story of true friendship and trust, Steel Magnolias offers us a slice of Southern hospitality captured in a world of Truvy’s Beauty Shop where fascinating women gather to tell stories, share recipes, and fill the room with laughter.“From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they share each moment in their lives with grace, determination, courage, and perfectly coiffed hair.”
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Plan a Romantic Weekend or Weekday Visit with Friends to Historic Natchitoches, Louisiana.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has announced that the Natchitoches Historic District is one of the Five Most Romantic Main Streets in the United States. Here is what they had to say about Front Street in Natchitoches. “What do Main Streets have that the malls don’t? Atmosphere… History… Romance. They’re the place to go for unique experiences. Candle-lit restaurants, unique wedding destinations, charming streets for strolls, intimate wine-tasting rooms, quaint B&B's, special historic spots — these are just a few of the things that make Main Street districts a romantic and friendly destination. This year, we scoured the nation to find the Most Romantic."
Stay in a downtown Inn or a beautifully furnished century old Bed and Breakfast home. Dine on local Cajun and Creole cuisine. Enjoy a Steel Magnolias Tour of the filming sites of the movie and a visit to a French Creole Plantation when you Tour Natchitoches with Barbara.
