Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood – Townshend Village Hall

A classic Southern tale of hilarious sadness set in a sleepy Louisiana parish. A group of lifelong friends stage a rather unorthodox intervention to help a young playwright unravel the truth about her complicated, eccentric mother, find forgiveness and acceptance, and let go of her painful past.

Based on Rebecca Wells’ bestsellers, Sandra Bullock leads a star-studded cast including Ashley Judd, Maggie Smith and James Garner. Written for the screen and directed by Thelma and Louise Academy Award winner Callie Khouri, this deliciously warm and funny adaptation will have you laughing and crying out loud!
