Publicity and Reviews
“Cadence Theatre's production of August: Osage County is stunningly realized, an experience of outrageous comedy and visceral pain.”
— Susan Haubenstock, Richmond Times-Dispatch (February 20, 2012)
“Keri Wormald's direction of the 13-member cast is excellent and manages to keep the humor of Letts' script intact even in its most dramatic scenes… Intense and angry, August: Osage County is an epic and devastating drama, and this performance does it justice.”
— Rich Griset, Style Weekly (February 21, 2012)
