Comments on: August: Osage County’s Estelle Parsons http://dctheatrescene.com/2009/12/03/estelle-parsons/ Washington DC's Liveliest Theater Website Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:52:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Viola Howrie http://dctheatrescene.com/2009/12/03/estelle-parsons/comment-page-1/#comment-11320 Viola Howrie Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:30:36 +0000 http://dctheatrescene.com/?p=11254#comment-11320 Hello, Thank you for this opportunity to speak with you about the play, "August, Osage County." It was a delight in so many ways. Estelle Parsons is beyond belief. We just have one complaint: we sat in the 4th row of the orchestra section or BB 1 & 2, but found the sound not so good, especially when the stars were acting on the other side of the state. Is there a way to improve this situation? Thank you for listening, Mrs. Howrie Hello,
