Rachel was blessed to be able to act in her high school's production of Steel Magnolias in February. She played Shelby.
For those of you not familiar with the play, Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama play about the bond among a group of Southern women in northwest Louisiana. The action centers on Truvy's beauty parlour and the women who regularly gather there. The story begins on the morning of Shelby's wedding to Jackson and covers events over the next three years, including Shelby's decision to have a child despite having Type 1 diabetes and the complications that result from the decision. Although the main storyline involves Shelby, her mother and Shelby's medical battles, the underlying group-friendship among all six women is prominent throughout the drama.
The production was wonderful (there is certainly no bias here from the proud papa). I had told Lisa I was only going one night, but ended up attending all four nights of the performance. I absolutely loved it!! It was wonderful to see Rachel revel in her role. She has become one talented young lady!
