August: Osage County at Ephrata Performing Arts Center

Set in the Oklahoma county of the title, the play centers on the Weston family. The parents, Beverly and Violet, are in their sixties. When father Beverly suddenly disappears, their three adult daughters and Violet’s sister show up (with their various men) to deal with the crisis. But no one really wants to deal with Violet, who has mouth cancer, an addiction to painkillers, and a vicious disposition. It’s not long before all hell breaks loose.
With artistic director Edward R. Fernandez at the helm, you can be sure that dramatic thrills await you. Take a trip to Osage County and watch the Westons put the fun back in dysfunctional.
