It has just been announced that DeLanna Studi, niece of Wes Studi, will be portraying Johnna Monevata in the Broadway play August: Osage County. She is replacing Kimberly Guerrero who performed in the Chicago, New York, and London editions.
The play depicts a dysfunctional family from Osage County (just north of Tulsa) in Oklahoma. Johnna is the Cheyenne live-in maid. The play started in Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago in June 2007, went to Broadway in November 2007, and then went to London's National Theatre in November 2008. It won a Tony Award for Best Play and a Pullitzer Prize for Drama in 2008.
Best of luck to DeLanna Studi, who is in fact an Oklahoma native. The show begins it's national tour July 24th in Denver and ends up in Toronto in November.
