Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
Directed and Choreographed by Kate Lemos Brown. Music Directed by Lynnette Brown. Vocal Directed by Derek Greabell.
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you’ve got a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that unflinchingly and uproariously exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
Note: Viewer discretion is advised. August: Osage County contains mature themes, including familial dysfunction, addiction, and emotional turmoil. The play features strong language and confrontational dialogue that may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised, especially for individuals sensitive to these themes or those uncomfortable with depictions of intense family dynamics.
The subject matter of this play is for mature audiences only and does not reflect views and values of the First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville.
