And you thought your mother was bad…. Wait until you meet Vada Love Powell, the original “steel magnolia!” Add a smothered son, identical twins, a dead dad who is still around, and a four-hand canasta game where one of the hands has passed to another world…. And you’ll find yourself in The Exact Center of the Universe. Vada, bless her heart, is left reeling when her beloved only child, the Apple of her eye, gets married without her consent. Before long the whole town is drowning in gossip like biscuits in gravy. An off-Broadway hit, this Southern-fried comedy is a delightful reflection on age and change.
