The Homecoming
star Michael McKean paid a visit to the cast of August: Osage County following the
Saturday performance on November 3, with wife, actress Annette O'Toole
("Smallville").
Direct from a sold-out engagement at Steppenwolf Theatre
Company, the highly anticipated new American play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Tracy
Letts (Bug, Killer Joe) August: Osage County began Broadway performances on Tuesday, October 30 at the
Imperial Theatre (249 West 45th
Street).
"When their patriarch vanishes, the Weston clan must return
to their three-story home in rural Oklahoma
to get to the heart of the matter. With rich insight and brilliant humor, Letts
paints a vivid portrait of a Midwestern family at a turning point," state press
notes.
Anna D. Shapiro (The
Pain and the Itch, Iron) directs with
a design team featuring sets by Todd Rosenthal, costumes by Ana Kuzmanic,
lighting by Ann Wrightson, sound design by Richard Woodbury and David Singer creates
original music.
The ensemble from Steppenwolf reprises their roles for the
Broadway run: Ian Barford, Deanna Dunagan, Kimberly Guerrero, Francis Guinan,
Dennis Letts, Mariann Mayberry, Amy Morton, Sally Murphy, Jeff Perry, Rondi
Reed and Troy West. Brian Kerwin joins the cast in New York.
