Show Citizen Dramatic Steel Magnolias must not be missed By RUSS DALY You'll laugh, you'll cry. Sometimes you'll do both at the same time. If you miss this production, though, you'll definitely be sorry. The production is Steel Magnolias, Robert Harling's dramatic story about the love between family and friends that surpasses life's obstacles, which is currently in production in Lehi. Steel Magnolias centers on the life of Shelby Eatenton, who is about to be married as the play opens. The story of her struggle with diabetes, her hopes for the future and the choice she must make about having children. From the opening scene through the dramatic ending, Nicole Wride Revill portrays Shelby both flawlessly and believably. It is a pleasure to watch the variety of emotions she shows, from the carefree attitude of a young Southern belle to a young woman who struggles to free herself of her mother's apron strings to the mature woman who faces her own mortality. Having seen both the play and movie versions, I was not sure what to expect from Jan Shelton, who plays M'Lynn, Shelby's mother. Although Shelton seemed in the slightly first act, her impassioned soliloquy in the second act was nothing short of incredible. She al invoked tears, even sobs, from practically the entire audience, including several men and a young boy, not to mention some of the actors themselves. The audience will relate to her feelings, not only because of the subject matter, but because of the way she reaches into the depth of her soul to create the performance. Theater-goer-s familiar with the work of Jane Williams will humor appreciate her dead-pashe uses to accentuate her lines in the role of Ouiser Bordreaux, town cynic. Personally, though, I think a little more of that Williams trademark would liven up the audience more during the first act. Members of the cast are to be commended on their skill with their Southern accent, a fact noted by Julie Crow Williams, a native of the South who coached them in the drawl. Steel Magnolias continues Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 7 and Monday, Feb. 9 at the Lehi Horseshoe Theater, located in the Lehi Arts Center building (the former Hutchings Museum), 685 N.
