January 2008 -- Article in The Press-Enterprise about Steel Magnolias at The California Theatre of Performing Arts in San Bernardino. According to Henson, Alejandria Keigan as Shelby "comes from a different place than the Shelby in the movie. In this production, she brings a longing and a yearning for a child to her situation of being a pregnant diabetic. It's a hugely powerful scene." Shelby, the young diabetic daughter of M'Lynn, becomes pregnant with her husband, despite doctors' cautions. The only genuinely optimistic woman in the play, she dies after delivering a healthy baby. "The play uses the young Shelby to say things the other, jaded older women couldn't say convincingly," said Henson. "She becomes a powerful vehicle for telling the others not to dwell on the unimportant things, to live life fully, because you're only here for a short time." |
