SHOWS & TICKETS

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY TICKETS ARE HERE!

WELCOME TO THE MADHOUSE

August: Osage County sets the stage on fire!

Don’t miss the Nevada County premiere the New York Times called “theater that continually keeps you hooked with shocks, surprises and delights…watching it is like sitting at home on a rainy night, greedily devouring two, three, four episodes of your favorite series in a row."

L-R Hilary Quinn, Catz Forsman, Alexis Zendejas, Lois Masten and Katie King

A father disappears and three sisters return to their family home, where their pill-popping, poisoned-tongued mother rules the roost. Will anyone survive? In this house, nothing is taken for granted. 

Get your tickets for the first Nevada County production of August: Osage County. Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer and Tony Award for Best New Play, this modern classic by Tracy Letts will shock and awe you in the best possible way.

AUDIENCES ARE RAVING:

“It’s the best piece of live theater in Nevada City in over 40 years. It was like a show you’d see in Ashland or at ACT. The actors give it their all and the ensemble works beautifully.”

“Great play, excellent acting, amazing stage. One of the best plays I've seen in quite a while.”

“It was such an incredible show. The acting and directing were phenomenal and truly top notch and the story captivating and a wild roller coaster. We laughed, we cried, it’s still sitting with us the next day .. two thumbs WAY up!”

August: Osage County is probably the best 21st century play I have seen thus far. It's up there with the great works of Edward Albee, Tennessee Williams, and Sam Shepard. Sierra Theatre Company's staging is also one of the best productions l've seen in Nevada County. Chase Coney was the perfect choice to direct this masterwork, and he assembled a most remarkable cast without a weak link. Lois Masten is stunning as the matriarch you will never, EVER forget.”

August: Osage County contains adult language, themes, and staged violence—recommended for mature audiences only. Running time is three hours, including two intermissions. But don’t worry, you’ll love every minute of this binge-worthy, hilarious, harrowing play. — photos by Heidi Grass
