Lauren Bowler: My name is Lauren Bowler. I'm playing in Anelle, and I would describe Anelle as a recent beauty school graduate who is on the hunt for her identity.
Chick Reid: I am Chick Reid, and I play Ouiser Boudreaux. I would describe Ouiser as a person who has a considerable heart which has been broken, and she stays very busy protecting it.
Mary Pitt: I'm Mary Pitt. I play Clairee. I'm also a regular at the salon, and I would say I'm privileged, I'm rich, but with heart.	ON SCREEN: 
Lauren Bowler, Chick Reid and Mary Pitt speak to the camera.
Tell us about the character the character you’re playing in Steel Magnolias.	
Lauren Bowler: There's a whole lot of community talked about, and belonging in this show.
Chick Reid: Yeah, I would agree. Bonding is bonding, right? Fundamentally, friendship is friendship.	What is the main theme of the play?	
Chick Reid: I think that women talk about just about anything, that anything can be on the table.
Mary Pitt: It used to be, way back when, with men; now it's health, and what's wrong with you today, and what hurts on your body today, and we compare notes.	What do you talk about when you get together with friends?	
Mary Pitt: We still have a core group of ladies that meet after we work out at the gym and have coffee and chat.
Chick Reid: Yeah, I was going to say the gym too. I understand it's quite a hub. 
Lauren Bowler: I was going to say breweries, but maybe that just gives too much insight into my personality.
[Laughter from everyone]	Where do you meet up with friends?
