August: Osage County

Original Steppenwolf and Broadway cast members Deanna Dunagan (Tony Award®, Best Leading Actress), Rondi Reed (Tony Award®, Best Featured Actress), Kimberly Guerrero, Francis Guinan and Mariann Mayberry reunite to record Tracy Letts' dark, Pulitzer Prize-winning comic epic, joined by National Tour cast member Shannon Cochran and directed by Bart DeLorenzo. The Weston family gathers during a brutal summer heat wave to provide comfort to their bitter, substance-abusing matriarch and find their missing father. It's an unforgettable theatrical journey that offers a painfully funny look at a family struggling in the desolate heart of America. All performances will be recorded live in front of an audience (without sets or costumes) to air on L.A. Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series, which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide (locally, in Southern California, on KPFK 90.7 FM) and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.
