Steel Magnolias

Cabot Movie Party events are a little extra: enjoy specialty drinks, photo ops, contests and other on-theme activities before the film! In tribute to the late great Dolly Parton, Steel Magnolias returns to the big screen at The Cabot. M’Lynn (Sally Field) is the mother of bride-to-be Shelby Eatenton (Julia Roberts), and as friend Truvy Jones (Dolly Parton) fixes the women’s hair for the ceremony, they welcome a helping hand from aspiring beautician Annelle Dupuy DeSoto (Daryl Hannah). Diabetic Shelby has a health scare, which is averted but doesn’t bode well for her hopes of having children. Time passes, and the women and their friends encounter tragedy and good fortune, growing stronger and closer in the process.
