    Something has been unearthed…Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize winning quintessential drama that digs deep into family dysfunction and the deterioration of the American dream. In the corn fields of Illinois, a squalid farm home is occupied by a family filled with suffering born of deep-seated unhappiness and violence. When a stranger returns, his persistent search for understanding and truth unearths a deep, dark, secret.

          A chilling depiction of a heart broken and lost family. Incredible performances that are both haunting and delightful. One of City Theatre's best productions. Don't miss it.

          Buried Child by S Shepard at City: dark, grotesque but comic cartoon of epic rural despair. Kudos: Wray Crawford. http://tinyurl.com/ydufee2

          This was a great production of a Shepard classic! Every role was pitch perfect and watching these chilling performances is worth the price of admission alone. Wray Crawford and Keylee Paige Koop... Expand

          It wasn't enough to see the best of Sam Shepard's work of a dysfunctional and suffering American family, but portrayed with such intensity, humor and emotion by a fine company of actors. Bravo!... Expand

          The actors of Buried Child do a good job to relay the intensity of Sam Shepherd's play about the dysfunction of family. Wray Crawford, Stephen Cruz, and Errich Peterson give chilling performances.... Expand
