$12.00 in advance; $15.00 at door
Sam Shepard’s Curse of the Starving Class is a darkly comic exploration of the American family psyche. The play focuses on the dysfunctional Tate clan — the drunken dreamer of a father, burned-out mother, rebellious teenage daughter, and idealistic son — as they struggle for control of the rundown family farm in a futile search for freedom, security, and ultimately meaning in their lives.
