"August: Osage County" Opens At Peoria Players Theatre

This week, we're talking with Charles Killen. He's directing "August: Osage County" at Peoria Players Theatre. He describes the play as a multi-layered family drama, and the cast includes long-time Peoria actors, along with a few new faces. He also talks about the rehearsal process he and the cast engaged in to prepare the production, and he makes the case that author Tracy Letts' writing style is as rewarding for actors as it is for audiences.

"August Osage County" opens tonight, with performances continuing through March 19th at Peoria Players Theatre.
