Season 6 Overview

	True West by Sam Shepard Over twenty years ago, KCAT favorites Jim Birdsall and Mark Robbins brought Lee and Austin to life on the Missouri Repertory Theatre stage. Now see them again as they reprise their roles in this classic Sam Shepard play about a screenwriter and his renegade brother, their testosterone-driven rivalries and what happens when the success of one brother means the failure of the other. ”True West” has been called “Shepard’s signature piece, the leanest, most pointed of his full length works.” Featuring: Mark Robbins, Jim Birdsall, Dan Hillaker and Joicie Appell Directed by Robert Elliott July 23 – August 15, 2010 Union Station’s H&R Block City Stage
	Marion Bridge by Daniel MacIvor When three troubled sisters reunite to care for their dying mother at their home on Cape Breton Island, they learn more about each other and themselves, which ultimately allows them to come to terms with the past. You won’t want to miss the Kansas City premiere of this powerful work by Canada’s preeminent playwright!
