Hailed as "a play for the ages" by The New York Times, Buried Child received its world premiere at Magic Theatre in 1978 during Sam Shepard's tenure as playwright-in-residence. Shepard's residency spanned from 1975 to 1983, during which time he wrote and premiered some of his most seminal plays on Magic's stage, including Buried Child, True West (1980), and Fool for Love (1983). Buried Child won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1979, launching Sam Shepard into national attention as a playwright. Magic's legacy revival of Buried Child features a version of the script that Sam Shepard reworked in 1996 for a Broadway revival of the play produced by Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company.

This time around, our spellbinding cast of Buried Child features cherished Bay Area actor Rod Gnapp (Se Llama Cristina, Annapurna) as Dodge, Patrick Alparone as Vince, PatRick Kelly Jones as Bradley, James Wagner as Tilden, Denise Balthrop Cassidy as Halie, Elaina Garrity as Shelly, and Lawrence Radecker as Father Dewis.
