A vanished father.

A pill-popping mother.

Three sisters harboring shady little secrets.

When the Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets in “August: Osage County,” coming to the Bainbridge Performing Arts stage Friday, March 17 through Sunday, April 2.

Island Treasure awardee Kate Carruthers leads a show-stopping cast featuring Gianni Truzzi, Barbara Deering, Ann Ellis, Melissa Fenwick, Carrie Morgan, Jennifer Pippin-Montanez, McKenna Sanford, Kalea Salvador, Wayne Purves, Pete Benson, Geoff Schmidt, Geoff Finney and Rob Burke.

Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, “August: Osage County” is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
