True West, a dark comedy from Pulitzer Prize winning author Sam Shepard, delves into the complicated relationship of two brothers. Austin, a young Stanford graduate with a promising career as a screenwriter, is paid an unexpected visit by his alcoholic desert-dwelling brother, Lee, while working on a script in their vacationing mother's home. Welcome to Sam Shepard country where nothing is what it seems to be: sibling rivalry is the norm; toasters are not just for toast; and plants die from neglect. One of Shepard's most acclaimed plays, True West was revived on Broadway in 2000 with Philip Seymour Hoffman and John C. Reilly winning Tony Award nominations for their performances.

Don't miss Sam Shepard's classic take on Hollywood, family, golf, typewriters and toast; directed by Nancy Curran Willis and featuring Evan Tanner, Bill Stambaugh, Mark Baumhardt and Christine Connor supported by an amazing crew including: Judy Forgione, stage manager; Maggie Benagh, producer; Ruth Neeman, set design; Chip Sheeran, set tech; Elizabeth Sheeran, set dressing and props; Marc Capizzi, hair and makeup design; Anna Bruce, costume design; Bruce Pennypacker, light design; Kimberly Enders, sound design; Lisa Hamel, assistant director; Chris Cardoni, fight choreography; with original music written and performed by Valerie Forgione.

OPENING MAY 2nd at the QP Playhouse in Reading! Don't miss out.
