The audience exclaimed:

"I recently saw the Gresham Little Theater production of “Steel Magnolias.”  The cast does a tremendous job with this play. They managed to guide the audience through a range of emotions, not the least of which was laughter.  Your community is fortunate to have the Gresham Little Theater and everyone should go see “Steel Magnolias”! A great play, great cast, and a theater with character."
