True West is considered the masterpiece of famous American playwright Sam Shepard’s many plays. The play follows two estranged brothers over a few tumultuous days, examining their relationship as their sibling rivalry becomes apparent in hilarious and intense ways. Austin, a writer, works to complete a screenplay to jumpstart his Hollywood career while Lee, a charismatic thief drifter works to get under Austin’s skin and achieve his own personal goals. True West was a finalist for the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It has been revived on Broadway three times and was a hit film in 1984.

True West is directed by longtime collaborator and former managing director Mark Baer. Jason Richards and Scott Murdock play the two brothers Lee and Austin, and Isaac Bont and Lynda Dahl round out the rest of the cast.
