"August: Osage County" was created by Tulsa-born playwright and actor Tracy Letts'. A mix of family drama and black comedy, "August: Osage County" follows the Weston family as its members come together in Osage County, Oklahoma, following their patriarch's suicide. Buried secrets are revealed and the bonds of family are tested in this deeply poignant show that proves the deepest scars come from the ones you love the most.
The play premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in 2007, and moved to Broadway later that year, where it ran for nearly 650 performances. "August: Osage County" also notably received the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
