SUMMARY:THE MINUTES - Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Night falls on Big Cherry\, USA\, a seemingly ordinary town with secrets festering beneath its folksy charm. As the city council meeting unfolds in real time\, tensions rise\, alliances shift\, and a routine agenda veers into chaos. What begins as civic procedure spirals into a gripping unmasking of buried truths and a chilling question: How far would you go to protect your version of the truth? From the razor-sharp pen of Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts (AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY)\, THE MINUTES is a darkly hilarious\, slow-burning thriller that peels back the patriotic veneer of American identity. Part biting satire\, part psychological mystery\, it exposes the rot at the heart of institutional power and the stories we tell to survive it. \nReserve tickets
