About August: Osage County:
Meet the Westons.
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets.
When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new Broadway play that unflinchingly -- and uproariously -- exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
From a thrilling, sold-out run at Chicago's Tony Award-Winning Steppenwolf Theatre, August: Osage County has had audiences riveted and critics raving on Broadway too. This thrilling new play by 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts (Bug, Killer Joe) has been hailed by The New York Times as "THE MOST EXCITING NEW AMERICAN PLAY BROADWAY HAS SEEN IN YEARS."
August: Osage County performs Tuesday-Friday at 7:30PM, Matinees on Wednesday and Saturdays at 2:00PM, Saturdays at 8:00PM and Sundays at 3:00PM. Tickets can be purchased at Telecharge.com, or by calling (212) 239-6200. Outside the NY Metro (800) 432-7250.
