Buried Child
by Sam shepard
July 2-21, 2024
As part of our year-long celebration of Firehouse founder Carol Piersol, we will honor her legacy with a new production of a landmark Firehouse project, Buried Child.
Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Buried Child explores the disintegration of the American Dream, through the eyes of a dysfunctional family in rural Illinois.
Long buried family secrets are unearthed, including a haunting mystery in the backyard.
Buried Child explores themes of decay, denial, and the inescapable grip of the past, as Shepard powerfully critiques the disillusionment with traditional values in contemporary America.
