The Ringwald Theatre’s annual holiday parody has come to town! Steel Poinsettias, by Vince Kelley, the unauthorized parody sequel to Steel Magnolias lands at the Ferndale theatre just in time for the holidays. Performances run December 5–21, 2025, with shows on Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays at 7:00 pm, and matinees on Sundays at 3:00 pm.

The beloved gang from Truvy’s Beauty Spot are back! As the ladies prepare for the holidays, a monkey wrench is thrown into the proceedings as Shelby’s son, Jackson, Jr., announces a life-changing decision that throws M’Lynn for a loop. Truvy, Annelle, Clairee, and Ouiser, along with Annelle’s daughter (also named Shelby), band together to get the holidays back on track and to keep everyone in Chinquapin Parish happy, healthy, and in the pink (well, Blush and Bashful).

Packed with razor-sharp humor, outrageous antics, and everyone’s favorite emotion – laughter through tears, Steel Poinsettias is a love letter to its source material and the perfect campy holiday confection!
