All woman cast, strong actresses with good range of emotions needed. Also all to have good (preferably southern) American accents...Not via Oldham/Ashton etc.

Truvy: 38- 45 owner of the beauty shop/hair salon. Heart of gold, knows her clients all as friends....Good actress needed as the lynch pin to the play.

Shelby: 21-28- prettiest girl in town; chronic diabetic, big range of emotion needed.
