Sam Shepard Play Festival Announced Live On Stage In Englewood

Elusive playwright Sam Shepard is known for plays such as True West and Buried Child, as well as award-winning acting roles in films such as The Right Stuff.

The Black Box Performing Arts Center, located at 49 East Palisade Avenue, is excited to honor Shepard's work this summer in THE Sam Shepard FESTIVAL, which delivers vibrant script-in-hand performances of a diverse sampling of 5 raucous one-act plays by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright.

FOOL FOR LOVE, COWBOYS #2, THE HOLY GHOSTLY, THE UNSEEN HAND, and BACK BOG BEAST BAIT will appear in two exciting 'line-ups' on alternating evenings.

Embrace the style, rhythms, and landscape of Shepard's absurdist vision of the "American West" replete with cowboys, gunslingers, swamp-beasts, sultry lovers, seedy hotel rooms, space freaks, and a major dose of rock'n'roll!
