Buried Child, the American Dream is transformed into a nightmare

Often depicted as picture perfect, the American Midwestern family is sometimes more Dali than Rockwell. In playwright Sam Shepard’s 1979 Pulitzer Prize winning play, Buried Child, the American Dream is transformed into a nightmare.  Vince brings his girlfriend home to meet his family but disappointment and disillusionment are quickly brought front and center when the family fails to remember Vince. Enjoy watching the breakdown of a family way more dysfunctional than yours during the Glacity Theatre Collective’s production.
