Riverfront Playhouse Presents “The Minutes”

From Tracy Letts, the acclaimed playwright behind “August: Osage County,” comes The Minutes—a wickedly funny and delightfully quirky dark comedy. “The Minutes” takes a hard look at the inner workings of a city council meeting and the hypocrisy, greed, and ambition that bubble to the surface when a newcomer to the small town of Big Cherry starts to ask the wrong questions. Why is someone on the council mysteriously missing? What happened to all those bicycles? Is there skullduggery afoot with the city’s finances? What’s the deal with the available parking space? Part Parks & Recreation, part Twilight Zone. This powerful, resonant, and funny portrayal of democracy in action proves that everything you know can change—it’s just a matter of minutes. After all, the smallest towns keep the biggest secrets.
