Variety describes this play as a “very juicy…epic evening…( a) richly entertaining dysfunctional-family juggles the hilarious, the poignant and the appalling on a scale seldom seen.”  Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County is a grand, gripping new play that tells the story of the Westons, a large extended clan that comes together at their Oklahoma home when the patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and secrets, the family must also contend with Violet, a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storm. Los Angeles Times says it is “sensationally entertaining…a feast for actors and audiences alike.” Time Magazine named it the "#1 Show of the Year!"  Don’t miss this powerful production, a tale filled with unforgettable characters and told with unflinching honesty. 
Recommended for mature audiences, ages 16+. Contains profanity, mature themes, sexuality and drug use.
