I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Kyle Barnette and the cast and crew of Steel Magnolias. It is remarkable to see how the show has come together despite last minute changes which could have been disastrous. However, when one is working with “troupers”, there is nothing to worry about. This is truly an ensemble cast made up of wonderful actors and also brave people who joined us very late in the process.
Ouiser is a very terrific role for me. It’s fun playing this cantankerous “old” lady who is really a good and generous person, at heart! I am happy that I was chosen for the role. (I don’t like thinking of myself as old, despite the fact that I have grown children!!! I remember the days when I was the youngest person in the cast!!!)
