AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
Tree County Players
Aug. 24-26
[Greensburg, Ind.]

Directed by Sean Durbin

Cast: Tom Flemming as Beverly Weston, Lori Durbin as Violet Weston, Allie Myers as Barbara Fordham, Erich Davies as Bill Fordham, Taylor Dennis as Jean Fordham, Julie Webster as Ivy Weston, Toni Kellems as Karen Weston, Shawna Schroeder as Mattie Fae Aiken, Bob Eister as Charlie Aiken, Rocky Miano as Little Charles Aiken, Liza as Johnna Monevata, Conlin Durbin as Steve Heidebrecht & Devin Morgan as Sheriff Deon Gilbeau

Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best New Play, August: Osage County centers around the Weston family, brought together after their patriarch, world-class poet and alcoholic Beverly Weston, disappears. The matriarch, Violet, depressed and addicted to pain pills and “truth-telling,” is joined by her three daughters and their problematic lovers, who harbor their own deep secrets, her sister Mattie Fae and her family, well-trained in the Weston family art of cruelty, and finally, the observer of the chaos, the young Cheyenne housekeeper Johnna, who was hired by Beverly just before his disappearance. Holed up in the large family estate in Osage County, Oklahoma, tensions heat up and boil over in the ruthless August heat. Bursting with humor, vivacity, and intelligence, August: Osage County is both dense and funny, vicious and compassionate, enormous and unstoppable. Contains strong language and intense subject matter, including drug use, suicide, addiction, sexual references, and intergenerational trauma. Intended for mature audiences only. Recommended for ages 18+.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Tree County Players
Feb. 3-5
[Greensburg, Ind]

Directed by Jeff Lincourt

Cast: Katy Prairie as Annie, Stage Manager, Devin Morgan as Trevor, Light and Sound Tech, Erich Davies as Chris (Inspector Carter), Brady Domingo as Jonathan (Charles Haversham), Matt Boersma as Robert (Thomas Colleymoore), Corden Simmonds as Dennis (Perkins), Evan Straber as Max (Cecil Haversham) & Morgan Kramer as Sandra (Florence Colleymoore)

“Break a leg!” takes on a whole new meaning for a woefully misguided troupe of players at the Cornley University Society’s opening night performance of The Murder at Haversham Manor. An unconscious leading lady, a corpse who can’t play dead, a ruffled detective, and a word-mangling butler (among others) must battle against technical gaffes, forgotten lines, and sabotaging scenery in a quest to arrive all in one piece at the final curtain call. Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, all mayhem, this 1920s whodunit is disastrously delightful.
