Good Old Oklahoma
Actress reminisces on home state and performing in August: Osage County
DeLanna Studi, the actress who plays Johnna, Violet's caretaker and cook, in the U.S. tour of Tracy Letts' August: Osage County, is not only a member of the Cherokee Nation, but she is also an Oklahoman. The Muldrow native, who's lived in Los Angeles for the past 10 years, said she was excited to audition for the role because, "here is a strong Oklahoma woman who happens to be American Indian in the play about a fascinating Oklahoma family."

Beyond Osage
Grant and foundation help fund art exhibit in collaboration with performance
A $40,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, awarded to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust, partially funded the presentation of August: Osage County, an exhibition at Gilcrease Museum and this weekend's "Oklahoma Landscapes: A Literary Tableau." The Tulsa PAC Trust shared the money--granted in the endowment's "Presenting" discipline and "American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius" category--with Gilcrease and the Oklahoma Center for Poets and Writers to fund a three-part artistic endeavor called "Oklahoma Landscapes: A Plains State of Mind."
