The Constitution is the only document you get more knowledge of it, the drunker you get. Why? It was written during a four month drunken binge. The bills from those days show thousands of dollars in wine, port, beer. They were all drinking.

Five months… FIVE MONTHS after their previous musical comedy, Jumbo, opened at the Hippodrome, the trio of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart and George Abbott had a brand new one at the Imperial. But far from seeming a rush job, their 1936 On Your Toes can easily be argued to be a huge step forward in refining musical comedy into a sophisticated art form.

The first trailer for the film adaptation of Tracy Letts' AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY has been released. Starring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Margo Martingdale, Andrea Riseborough and Ewan McGregor, the drama hits theaters on November 8, 2013. Get a first look below!
South Bend Civic Theatre presents the acclaimed drama August: Osage County by Tracy Letts tonight, May 10-19 in the Wilson Mainstage Auditorium. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony award for Best Play, this blistering portrait of a family in crisis has been hailed as the greatest American play of our time. When the patriarch of the Weston clan goes missing, the family gathers together at the homestead in Oklahoma, revealing years of pain, addiction, abuse, and infidelity. Ruthlessly profane and savagely funny, you will not want to miss this astounding and monumental work by the playwright of Superior Donuts.
The Ringwald Theatre will present August: Osage County from tonight, May 10-June 3, 2013. Capping off a successful 'Season of Family', The Ringwald has indeed saved what is arguably the best for last; certainly the biggest for last. The Ringwald has had great success with the plays of Tracy Letts in the past, producing two of his works: Bug and Killer Joe. August: Osage County promises to be every bit as compelling as his past works.
The 58th Annual Drama Desk Awards will take place on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 8:00 PM at The Town Hall (123 W. 43rd Street). The Awards show is written by Bill Rosenfield and directed by Jack Cummings III (co-founder and artistic director of Transport Group).
