Hickory – The Hickory Community Theatre will present the final four performances of True West, a dramatic comedy by Sam Shepard, this weekend, April 26th through 29th in the Firemen’s Kitchen.
Set in the California desert during the 1980s, the play centers around the conflict between two brothers, Austin the family man and Lee, a petty thief and drifter. Their sibling rivalry erupts like a volcano when Lee shows up unexpectedly while Austin is housesitting for their mother.

On Thursday night the box office and concessions will open at 6:30pm and early arrivals will have a chance to peek into the Jeffers Theatre to watch the set go up for the Theatre’s upcoming production of Ragtime the Musical.
