AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY – BOSTON, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2010
NELMA has secured fantastic front mezzanine seats at Boston’s Colonial Theater for another outstanding theater excursion during the upcoming May convention. Joining a long line of terrific NELMA theater trips over the years….Dirty Dancing; Wicked; Jersey Boys; Spamalot, Phantom of the Opera, and Movin’ Out just to name a few…..now we bring you the opportunity to experience AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY.
Fresh from a thrilling, sold-out run at Chicago’s Tony Award-Winning Steppenwolf Theatre, August: Osage County had audiences riveted and critics raving. This thrilling new play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Tracy Letts has been hailed by The New York Times as “hugely entertaining! A ripsnorter full of blistering, funny, dialogue, acid-etched characters and scenes of no-holds-barred emotional combat."
"....AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a grand, gripping play that tells the story of the Weston’s, a large extended clan that comes together at their rural Oklahoma homestead when the alcoholic patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and astonishing secrets, the family must also contend with Violet (played by Academy Award-winner Estelle Parsons), a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storm. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a rare theatrical event – a large-scale work filled with unforgettable characters, a powerful tale told with unflinching honesty.”
