August: Osage County at The Ringwald Theatre

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 play that unflinchingly and uproariously exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family. Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, "August: Osage County" comes to The Ringwald in a dynamic, re-imagined production directed by Joe Bailey.
