OCTA Presents "The Minutes" A play by Tracy Letts 3/27/2026 7:30 PM - 4/12/2026 4:30 PM

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 10:43:39 GMT

This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives.

Beneath the deadpan back-and-forth of a seemingly typical city council board meeting lies the whiff of something distinctly sinister in Tracy Letts's new play The Minutes. Known for his keen ability to illustrate the faults and cracks under humanity's surface, Letts delivers an acutely thrilling new work that pulls you in with laughter before grabbing you by the throat.
