Buried Child

By Sam Shepard

Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott

Set in America’s heartland, Sam Shepard’s powerful Pulitzer Prize-winning play details, with shocking hilarity, the disintegration of the American Dream. When 22-year-old Vince unexpectedly shows up at the family farm with his girlfriend Shelly, no one recognizes him. So begins the unraveling of dark secrets. A surprisingly funny look at disillusionment and morality, Shepard’s masterpiece is the family reunion no one anticipated.

“SAVAGELY FUNNY!
Opportunities to see Shepard’s masterpiece done this well are few and far between.”
