Mother and Daughter Direct Productions of "Steel Magnolias" in Alabama

Veronica Stephenson and her daughter, Sydney, recently directed productions of “Steel Magnolias” at Enterprise High School in Alabama.

Stephenson teaches theatre and directs all stage productions at EHS. Her daughter, Sydney, is an EHS senior who directed the student production and will attend Oklahoma City University in the Fall as a stage management major. The much-anticipated performances were held last week, and tickets were sold and managed with GoFan. Read more about this gifted mother-daughter team here.
