Julia Fure joins us this fall for her very first MPT production! She is understudying the roles of both Shelby and Annelle in Steel Magnolias.

Describe your character in three words. What has been fun/exciting/challenging about playing her?

Sassy, Loving, Fierce. I love Shelby because she doesn't let anyone make decisions for her and always has a sense of humor.

Truvys is a place where these characters can match wits and build community with each other. Did/do you have a place like Truvy's in your life? What makes it special?

Anytime I'm doing a show feels like being at Truvy's. Shoutout to the cast of SPCT's Rent cast, one of my favorites.

Shelby's colors are Blush and Bashful, M'lynns are peach and cream. What are yours?

Green, black, and purple.

Which Steel Magnolias meal sounds most appealing: Ouiser's Shrimp pies, Truvys Strawberry pie, Clairee's Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa (cuppa flour, cuppa suger, cuppa fruit cocktail), or the cake shaped like an armadillo?

Shrimp pies, for sure!

Steel Magnolias is a staple of American theatre. What does this story mean to you?

This show is important because it shows the power of a found family and sisterhood.

What do you think audiences will like about Steel Magnolias?

Audiences will love how funny it is; it really catches you off guard sometimes with its humor!
