There are not many plays that can claim to be intelligently written and smartly crafted so that they are constantly and consistently engaging and interesting without also being, at times, over the audience's heads. It's a difficult line to walk, and with August: Osage County, Tracy Letts manages brilliantly.

My first introduction to the work of playwright Tracy Letts was covering a local production of Bug. I came away amazed and enthralled with the play, marveling at the way Letts writes dialog, and captivated by a bizarre tale of conspiratorial madness fueled by excessive drug consumption and psychotic behavior. So, needless to say, I had high expectations for the Steppenwolf Theatre Company's presentation of AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY that touched down at the Fox Theatre for a two week run. I'm happy to report that I was blown away by the brilliance of the writing and the cast. August: Osage County is must-see theatre.

The fall temperatures may be getting colder, but the DC area theatre scene is heating up with many musicals, including a new "intimate" production of a 1927 American classic, a Tony-Award Winning family saga, and so many choices - well - take a look for yourself at what this diverse theatre community has to offer in November. This is a great time to celebrate the upcoming holidays with your family, so bring the kids, grandparents, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and cousins to see that Orphan girl and her dog, a Disney heroine, and enjoy an early Christmas, and many more shows to bring in the cheer and joy of the holiday season.
