Resources and Links

The following links and resources are beneficial for the production team:

August:Osage County

· The official site for August: Osage County this contains reviews, behind the scene photos, television interview and productions photos. There also is a great game called “Pill Raid” and you try to find where Violet hides around the house. I feel this game gives a humorous approach to her addiction and also a feel for the pace of the play. http://www.augustonbroadway.com/

Steppenwolf Theatre


· The official site for Steppenwolf Theatre. This is where August: Osage County was developed into a play and where it made its debut. This also provides you with more information about the author Tracy Letts with more interviews and insights of the play. http://www.steppenwolf.org/


Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce

· The official for the Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce provides a wealth of information about the lifestyle, climate, and community events. This allows one to get a glimpse of life there. I would highly suggest this since most people have never visited nor intended to. http://www.pawhuskachamber.com/

Dysfuntional Families


· Dysfunctional Families, this is a great site to learn about growing up in a dysfunctional family the different types of dysfunction. The roles the children and adults take on in this environment and how it makes an impact on the choices people make. The Weston’s are bit dysfunctional and this can shed light on the different components during the play since the author does not give us too much in the script. www.mudrashram.com/dysfunctionalfamily2.html


Wikipedia-The Hollow Men

· The Hollow Men on Wikipedia’s site it gives a background to the poem and other links. This is so important to the production team because the tone of this play has to be based on this poem. There are too many references and an underlying tone exist in this play and by making everyone familiar with this poem can also give reason to the tone and action. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollow_Men
