AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

April 9-19, 2026

By Tracy Letts

This family will make your family look normal. 

When the Weston family reunites after the sudden disappearance of their patriarch, long-buried secrets and simmering tensions erupt within their Oklahoma home. At the center is Violet Weston—a sharp-tongued, pill-addicted matriarch whose brutal honesty ignites a firestorm of confrontation, betrayal, and dark humor. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, August: Osage County is a searing, unforgettable portrait of a fractured family, exposing the raw, messy truth beneath the surface of the Midwestern ideal.
