August: Osage Country Review
by Joe Fath 07 May '18

07 May '18

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY By Tracy Letts LytHouse, LLC Production 10, 11, 12 2018 @ 7pm 225 High St. Fairport Harbor, Ohio 44077 Reserve tickets: lythouse2018(a)gmail.com Review by Paul Goehrke It might be said that, unlike families, every great theatrical production is great in its own way, but the lacking ones are all alike. Nothing of what this production lacks -- curtains, hairline mics, age-specific casting, and even (technically) a theater -- detracts from the greatness on stage. Why not? Because the cardinal sin common to all "bad theater," that unredeemable lack, is a deficit of truth, and this production has truth in abundance. It proves as true that a group of individuals can come together to conjure a world somewhere "between the idea and the reality." There in the shadow of the shuttered, hollow Lyric Theater, and with an eye toward its resurrection <https://www.lec.edu/alumnus-joe-fath-11-brings-community-theatre-to-campaig…>, Director Joe Fath and cast create a pocket kingdom in the Diamond Dream Gallery on High Street where actors marry hope and pain and memory in a crucible of amateur devotion. Led by a foursome of women, as the play's matriarch and three daughters, this ensemble pours out playwright Letts' molten stream of words into a three-hour shot glass of throat-searing, gut-punching, eye-watering Pawhuska moonshine. There are plenty of punch lines, too. Yes, there's something uniquely great happening in Fairport Harbor this weekend. The reasons to see this inaugural production of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY are many, primary among them being how that glaring abundance of life offered by this ensemble pursues you after the final scene: out to the lobby, back to your car, into your own home, until you recognize, in fact, you've carried it inside yourself -- the still, hot truth of those Plains -- and having met the bellows, it lingers on well beyond the ovation as a burning, fading joy. ***
