Steppenwolf, the 31-year-old acclaimed Chicago ensemble theater company, is bringing another one of its highly praised productions to Broadway. August: Osage County serves as the Broadway debut of playwright Tracy Letts (Bug, Killer Joe), who has built a reputation for creating no-holds-barred dramas that get right to the heart of the matter. The Chicago company (joined in New York by stage vets Brian Kerwin and Madeleine Martin) is ready to dazzle Broadway with this sharp family drama set in rural Oklahoma. We dropped in on the first rehearsal at Chelsea Studios on October 23. Take a look!
