August: Osage County

Posted in: Theatre

The Weston family comes together after their patriarch, world-class poet and alcoholic Beverly Weston, disappears. The matriarch, Violet, depressed and addicted to pain pills, is joined by her three daughters, their problematic lovers, her sister Mattie Fae and her family, all well-trained in the Weston family art of cruelty. Holed up in the large family estate in Osage County, Oklahoma, tensions heat up and boil over in the ruthless August heat. Bursting with humor, vivacity, and intelligence, August: Osage County is at turns funny, vicious, compassionate, and an unstoppable force of nature. Midland Center for the Arts, 1801 W. St. Andrews. All seats $20.00. Phone: (989) 631-5930
