Stale Magnolias: the Ultimate 80's Southern Woman's Play
This May there's Magic in the Hair when Foul Play presents STALE MAGNOLIAS, the Ultimate 80s Southern Womans Play. High hopes, dashed dreams, betrayal, murder and... male-pattern balding? These ladies have a lot invested in their hair... which means they have a lot to lose.This show is so funny, you'll dye laughing.

"Surprisingly clever and intelligent Stale Magnolias is the proverbial 'must see' theatrical production of the year."
Hope Johnson, Fog City Journal.

"Celebrating the women not only from these films and shows but also women who live in small towns everywhere."
Andrea Abney, SF Gate

"Hilarious send up... full of wit and nitwits. The ensemble cast beautifully works together against each other."
Sister Dana Van Iquity, SF Bay Times

"The most extraordinary wig creations I've ever seen
designed by Jordan L Moore...A gender-bending exploration of one of cross-dressing's key accessoriesthe wig...A spell-binding effect on the viewer."
Chloe Veltman, SF WEEKLY, KALW
