Sam Shepard's Pulitzer Prize-winning examination of the American dream, Buried Child, follows the lives of a family wrecked by the secret tragedy that haunts them. Vince brings his girlfriend to meet his grandparents, but his expectations turn to disillusionment as he faces the reality of his quirky, often frightening, family of antagonists contained in a claustrophobic farmhouse somewhere in the great American Midwest. This powerful production is part of Boxcar's tribute to Sam Shepherd, as this season they feature a series of Shepherd plays as well as readings and selected scenes from the playwright in the month of March.

Superb acting. Stark setting (just 2 chairs with two excellent actors) but the story really came alive due to their performance. Dark story but not to be missed...partic if you're fans of Law & Order.

This was extremely well done. Scott Phillips as the grandfather Dodge is not to be missed. He was truly amazing. The two sons, grandson and girlfriend were all really strong as well. The whole performance really pulled me in. I would highly recommend it.

This is our second Boxcar play and once again we were blown away by how good everything is. The acting is perfect---everyone is strong and there was never a minute when you thought they were acting. The direction is superb and the play itself is, like all Shepard's work, thought-provoking, upsetting and hilarious almost at the same time, and well worth seeing. We plan to see all of the repertory. This group rocks!!!!

Description

Family secrets are dragged out into the light of day in a remote farmhouse. Dodge has lost control as the patriarch of the family and the mother, Halie, is in a not so hush-hush affair with their pastor. A heinous act, years ago, tore the family apart and killed all of the crops in the field. It all bubbles to the surface in a heartbreaking conclusion.
