The New York Times cheers, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is flat-out, without qualification, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years," and Time Magazine named it the "#1 Show of the Year!"


Written by 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts (Killer Joe, Bug), this grand, gripping new play tells the story of the Westons, a large extended clan that comes together at their rural Oklahoma homestead when the alcoholic patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and astonishing secrets, the family must also contend with matriarch Violet, a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storm.

Starring Academy Award winner Estelle Parsons in the role of the family matriarch, Violet. Ms. Parsons is currently appearing in the show on Broadway where The New York Times recently raved, “Estelle Parsons gives a superb performance…sends chills down your spine.  It may prove to be a crowning moment in an illustrious career."  

Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a rare theatrical event - a large-scale work filled with unforgettable characters, a powerful tale told with unflinching honesty and the unforgettable breakthrough of a major American playwright.
