Audition Call
True West
by Sam Shepard
“There's gonna be a general lack of toast in the neighborhood this morning.”
-Austin
A desert dwelling grifter and an ambitious family-man screenwriter, square off while house sitting their mother's home.
This gritty, dark comedy presents the struggle of two brothers through the themes of the illusory American West, sibling rivalry, masculinity, and identity.
This will be fun (funny) and intense!!!
