SEEKING:
JEAN FORDHAM (Girl, 14-years-old): A very bright, naturally curious teenager, Jean is trying to cope with the breakup of the marriage of her parents, whom she loves, but doesn't understand. Must be capable of handling mature subject matter: graphic language, smoking and drug paraphernalia (simulated), violence, adult situations. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, available for late evening schedule and eight performances per week.
 
JOHNNA MONEVATA (Woman, 26): A Cheyenne woman who has grown up in Oklahoma and never left home. She has been taking care of her family and working for a living for a long time. She has seen a lot, and grasps more than she reveals.

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 2008 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 alcoholic patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and astonishing 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 due to strong language and adult situations.
