Pioneer Theatre Company wraps its 2018-2019 season with some light, campy fun.

You know that lovely feeling you get when you go to the hair salon and they wash your hair in hot water and shampoo your scalp and massage your head? That was the feeling I had the whole way through Hale Center Theater's "Steel Magnolias." It's a warm, soothing, comforting show; I came away feeling like I'd spent the evening with my best girlfriends.

Pioneer Theatre Company has debuted its grittiest drama of the season in "Sweat," which earned playwright Lynn Nottage a 2017 Pulitzer Prize for drama.

The Pulitzer Prize committee described one of its 2016 drama finalists, playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins "Gloria," as "A play of wit and irony that deftly transports the audience from satire to thriller and back again."
