August: Osage County at The Gladstone Theatre

A Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, August: Osage County is a darkly comic and unflinchingly raw exploration of family dysfunction at its most explosive. When the sharp-tongued, pill-addicted matriarch and her estranged daughters reunite in the sweltering Oklahoma heat, what begins as a tense gathering quickly unravels into a brutal battle of wit, resentment, and long-buried secrets.

With searing humor and gut-wrenching honesty, August: Osage County exposes the fragile bonds that hold families together—and the devastating truths that can tear them apart. As generations clash and hidden betrayals surface, no one escapes unscathed. Love and loathing, tragedy and absurdity collide in this gripping, high stakes showdown.

Hailed as one of the greatest American plays of the 21st century, Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County is a tour de force of sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, and emotional devastation. At once hilarious and harrowing, it forces us to confront the messy, beautiful, and painful realities of family.

Content Warning: August: Osage County contains strong language, substance abuse, domestic conflict, discussions of suicide, and themes of addiction, trauma, and family dysfunction. The play also includes moments of emotional and physical confrontation. Viewer discretion is advised.
