True West is a play by celebrated American dramatist Sam Shepard, who played a pivotal role in off-Broadway theatre development.
“You sound just like the old man, now.”
“Yeah, well we all sound alike when sloshed. We all just sort of echo each other.”
An estranged brother rolls into town, and with him the echoes of a time long past. But who’s the real stranger in this family? Austin, the Ivy league screenwriter, ten years junior to Lee—a housebreaking vagabond just back from the Californian desert. In this play uncomfortable dualities abound between and within each character: nature and nurture, art and business, fiction and reality, civilization and the frontier, beginnings and endings, brother and brother.
Rebel Alliance Theatre’s first performance following their rousing LGTBQ program aims to continue developing our staff and craft to continue bringing genuine theatre at an affordable price.
True West will be presented on Fridays (June 7th, 14th, and 21st) and Saturdays (June, 8th, 15th, 22nd). All shows start at 7PM (doors open at 6:30PM), and will be presented at First Congregational Church in Oshkosh!
