The Minutes

Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) is both the writer and star of this short, punchy play about the machinations of a small-town city council—and the moral rot that lingers deep in the foundations of Middle American comforts. His costars include Jessie Mueller, Blair Brown, Ian Barford, K. Todd Freeman, Sally Murphy, the exceptional Austin Pendleton and Schitt’s Creek charmer Noah Reid.—Adam Feldman
