About the Show

In Hazlehurst, Mississippi, the three Magrath sisters gather to await news of their grandfather, who’s living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at 30; Meg, the middle sister, is back in town after a failed singing career; and Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after shooting her husband. Honest, touching, and consistently hilarious, Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play teems with humanity and humor.
