[NEohioPAL] BTOTS Presents August: Osage County

[Donald Albainy]

Brecksville Theater On The Square will open its 38th season with 2008 Pulitzer and Tony award winning play August: Osage County. 

Written by Tracy Letts, this is the story of the Weston family of Oklahoma...a pill-popping mother, a vanished father, and three unique sisters harboring secrets who gather at the family home when Dad disappears. Mix in the scathingly acidic family matriarch, and the audience is left wondering, shuddering, and often smiling with this view into the sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious darkness of a dysfunctional Midwestern American family.

Directed by Terrence Kelly and featuring 13 of the area's finest actors, the production will run February 3rd-5th and 10th-12th, 2012. Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 7:30, with Sunday matinees at 2:00. Tickets are $14 for adults, and $12 for seniors and students through college. Tickets may be purchased online at www.btots.org, or at the BTOTS box office. For box office hours, please see the website or call (440)526-3443.
