SCC to Hold Open Auditions for "Buried Child"

Published: 09/18/2009

“Buried Child” digs deep into family dysfunction and the deterioration of the American dream. When grandson Vince returns to the family farm with his girlfriend Shelley, no one seems to recognize or remember him. In Vince’s persistent search for recognition, he unearths a deep, dark family secret.
