Published on December 15, 2025

Marco Island, FL – December 15, 2025, Marco Island, FL —Marco Island Center for the Arts’ Arts Center Theatre kicks off the new year with laughter, outrageous characters, and Southern-fried hilarity in Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant, running January 8–25, 2026. Written by Leslie Kimbell and directed by Christi Lueck-Sadiq, this comedy reunites the beloved “Four Old Broads” with some wacky new friends for a night of nonstop laughs.

The talented cast features Judy Daye as Beatrice Shelton, Denise Hoeflich as Eaddy Mae Clayton, Cindy Rea as Imogene Fletcher, Susan Rafferty as Hazel Dillard, Alex “Hubba” Costello as Sam Smith, Cheryl Duggan as Lurleen Dupree, John McGonigle as Clovis Crown, Cynthia Sepich as Martha Parcell, and Marie Huyler as Maude Jenkins.
