and Dick Wheeler are two very different people. The former is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright, a lauded actor and a talent whose ambidextrous knack for acting and writing has produced “August: Osage County” and a slew of other highly successful plays.

“It’s probably something about being in my middle-age,” he said, darkly. “I started the play when I was 50. I’m 54 now, and 50 is kind of a profound moment, when you’ve got enough of your life and experiences behind you and enough of you ahead, but the end is out there. The end is more perceivable.
