True West

Actors Theatre presents
the Sam Shepard classic

True West

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
