Never at a loss for Incredible Talent, Steppenwolf Theatre's Tracy Letts wins the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for 'August: Osage County.'

It was announced today that the Pulitzer Prize Board has awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama to Steppenwolf ensemble member Tracy Letts' critically-acclaimed American play August: Osage County.

The acclaimed Broadway production of Tracy Letts' August: Osage County is proud to welcome theater and television veteran Michael McGuire into the role of family patriarch 'Beverly Weston,' a role previously portrayed by Dennis Letts (father of the playwright), who passed away last week.

In an effort to battle the post-strike box office lull that has afflicted Broadway plays, the producers of August: Osage County, The Homecoming and November joined together to present a extraordinary opportunity in Broadway playgoing - an exclusive subscription offer to three of the hottest plays this season.

Steppenwolf Theatre Company today announced plans to extend its New York production of August: Osage County by three weeks to help recover lost dates from the strike by Local One stagehands. The ongoing strike has prompted August: Osage County to indefinitely postpone its November 20, 2007 opening at the Imperial Theatre. The added performances will extend August's Broadway run through March 9, 2008.

Tracy Letts' acclaimed play August: Osage County, previously a hit at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, will open at the Imperial Theatre on November 20th after beginning previews on October 30th.
