Welcome to Truvy s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are anybody come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free advice to the town s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire; Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby is about to marry a good ole boy. Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few revealing verbal collisions, the play invokes knowing laughter and certain tears when the spunky Shelby risks her life for a child of her own. The realization of mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength and love - in these uniquely American women. Elizabeth Harris, Director
Ad Rewind: Richmond’s memorable advertising and marketing for 2020
December 29, 2020 2
2020 presented new challenges for Richmond’s marketing problem-solvers, with the pandemic requiring agencies to rethink their approach to campaigns and how they’re produced. But that didn’t seem to slow down their output.
The year started off with a name change for one of Richmond’s longer-running agencies, while one of its Scott’s Addition neighbors expanded its office footprint, taking the entire Power Plant at Lucky Strike building in Shockoe Bottom as a second location.
And just as the year was beginning to wrap up, the industry’s attention turned to Richmond once more as The Martin Agency was named Adweek’s U.S. Agency of the Year, capping off an unusual but productive 12 months.
