Curse of the Starving Class

January 23-February 1, 2026

Curse of the Starving Class by Sam Shepard is a darkly comic, emotionally charged play that explores the crumbling American Dream through the lens of a dysfunctional family on the brink. Set in a rundown farmhouse in rural California, the Tate family, battling poverty, broken dreams, and each other, clings to hope as they face betrayal, absurdity, and the ghosts of a starving spirit. Gritty, poetic, and laced with Shepard’s signature  surrealism, this play is a gripping look at survival, identity, and the hunger that haunts us all.

As Shakespeare’s "A Midsummer Night's Dream" plays out on stage, behind-the-scenes friendships are made, crushes pursued, and secrets revealed in plots fit for the Bard himself.
