Open Caption Performance: Curse of the Starving Class by Sam Shepard

This new production of Curse of the Starving Class, directed by Terry Kinney, honors Pulitzer Prize-winning Legacy Playwright Sam Shepard, who passed away in 2017. Living a stagnant, unhappy existence in rural California, the struggling Tate family is desperate for change, but every family member has a different way of trying to improve their station in life. Last produced in NYC by Signature more than 20 years ago, Curse of the Starving Class was called a play of “eloquent intensity, whirlwind farce and resonantly poignant insight” by Time Magazine.

For audience members who are deaf or experience hearing loss, Open Captioning features an electronic text display which shows what the actors are saying or singing. Open Captioning is available for select performances at Signature Theatre.
