Laugh through the tears at 'Steel Magnolias' SCADshow Dolly Parton tribute

Join us as we celebrate the legacy of the incomparable Dolly Parton with a special screening of Steel Magnolias. Set in a small Louisiana town, the beloved 1989 film follows six fiercely loyal women who bond at a local beauty salon, sharing the friendship, humor, resilience, and love that carries them through life’s sweetest and most difficult moments.

Parton stars in the film as salon owner Truvy Jones, part of an iconic cast that included four Academy Award winners — Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts, who received her first Oscar nomination for the film — not to mention Daryl Hannah, Tom Skerritt, Sam Shepard, and Dylan McDermott. Nearly 40 years after its release, Steel Magnolias remains a cinematic pillar of Southern culture and a timeless portrait of collective strength through grief. Whether the film is a longtime favorite or one you’re experiencing for the first time, Steel Magnolias is a perfect film to laugh and cry at this holiday season.

Tickets for the film are free for SCAD Card holders; $5 for external students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public, plus a $4 online processing fee. For more information, email [email protected].
