Stage work[edit]
True West was first performed at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco, where Sam Shepard was the resident playwright. It had its world premiere there on July 10, 1980 [1]. It was originally directed by Robert Woodruff and starred Peter Coyote as Austin, Jim Haynie as Lee, Tom Dahlgren as Saul Kimmer, and Carol McElheney as Mom. The production later moved to Joseph Papp's The Public Theater in New York City, where it starred Tommy Lee Jones and Peter Boyle.
At the Gnu Theatre, where the California-set "True West" director/set designer Jeff Seymour cast Tom Dahlgren to reprise his role as Saul Kimmer in the 1990 version at the Gnu Theatre. Gnu Theatre Review in LA Times for "True West"
"Lifetimes 10: Writers Play With the Puzzle" weds humor, drama and a few effortless metaphysical touches to an experience that glides before you like apparitions in a half-dream. The theme is set immediately in the opener, Alan Eisen's "Passing Through," in which director Janet Davidson skillfully dramatizes an imaginative fantasy dealing with the fears and expectations of three embryos as they approach birth. A faintly disturbing God-like omniscience is coolly delivered by actor Tom Dahlgren as a piano player.
Betty Garrett, in four interludes called "7 Minutes of Life," including one as a baby, playfully swirls a choric motif. In "1932" by Terry Kingsley-Smith (producer Griggs directing sublime performances by Jeanne Bates and Tom Dahlgren) and Drew Katzman's "I'm Tired of Looking for Barrymore" (Aubuchon staging an uproarious Hollywood cemetery outing between Guy Raymond's carping father and Katzman's patronizing son), the production finds its sturdiest moorings.
