Tracy Letts wins Pulitzer!
Move over John Malkovich and Gary Sinise, there's another Steppenwolf Theatre ensemble member making theatrical waves: Tracy Letts. Steppenwolf annouced Monday that the actor and playwright, an ensemble member since 2002, was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his darkly comic family drama "August: Osage County."
"August" opened in Chicago in June 2007 to critical acclaim and racked up eight Jeff Award nomiations (winning six, including best production, play). The show opened at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway in December '07 with most of the Chicago cast intact--including the playwright's late father Dennis Letts--and will move to the Music Box Theatre on Broadway at the end of April.
See Letts' new play "Superior Donuts" at Steppenwolf Theatre from June 19-Aug. 17. Tickets go on sale April 10.
