I’m writing to give kudos to Holly Grigg Spall for the excellent review she did on “Steel Magnolias” at the 2nd Street Theater. For the first time, we got to read an actual review, one that reported on the direction and how the actors did their roles and the set, etc. Usually, all we get is a preview which tells the audience what the play is about and who’s in it, period. We at 2nd Street are very grateful for Holly’s review. Thank you for printing it.
