Theatre in the Round Players Presents Sam Shepard’s Masterwork, True West, April 21 - May 14
Friday, March 24, 2023 at 4:29AM
Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) continues its 71st season with Sam Shepard’s masterwork, True West, running weekends April 21 to May 14 with a Monday Pay-What-You-Can performance on May 1.
Skirting the line between violently tragic and darkly funny, this classic American play tells the story of brothers clashing over a chance to leave a legacy with a Hollywood movie. Austin, the sensitive screenwriter, is working on a script he has sold to producer Sal Kimmer when his brother, Lee drops in. He pitches his own idea for a movie to Kimmer, who then wants Austin to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee’s trashy Western tale. Duck Washington directs the four-member cast with sets designed by Michael Haas, costumes by Colleen O’Dell, lighting by Shannon Elliott, props by Terri Ristow, and sound by Anita Kelling.
True West runs April 21 to May 14. Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2pm.
Tickets are $25. For information, call the theatre’s box office at 612-333-3010 or visit the website.
