“August: Osage County”is a hit! Audiences are raving over this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play now running at the Waterfront Playhouse through Jan. 14.

This epic masterpiece is riveting in its depiction of the hilarious, shocking and turbo-charged meltdown of the Weston family. The Atlanta Constitution said “August’ is a raucous thrill ride, ornamented with arch dialogue, snappy rejoinders and the kind of bad behavior that makes dysfunctional families seem like the Cosbys in comparison.”

“August: Osage County” is the story of a family with way too many secrets. When the family patriarch mysteriously disappears, the Weston clan gathers at its rural Oklahoma homestead. Their reunion is rocked when shocking truths are revealed and an emotional Armaggedon erupts. Christine Dolen of the Miami Herald raved “‘August’ is completely engaging. There are quiet moments, violent moments, tender moments, disgusting moments, hilarious moments and appalling moments. But dull? Never.”

Directed by WFPH artistic director Danny Weathers, “August” features an ensemble of 13 Key West actors who are receiving universal praise for their brilliant performances. The cast includes Joy Hawkins, George diBraud, Bob Bowersox, Stephanie Yosen, Nicole Nurenberg, Chris Stone, Tom Murtha, Jessica Miano Kruel, Shakti Assouline, Kyle Caskey, George Murphy, Joe McMurray and John Wells. Michael Boyer’s rambling Oklahoma house is another stunning creation for the WFPH stage, Carmen Rodriguez is the costume designer and props master, David Bird designed the atmospheric lighting and Trish Manley is the stage manager.
