As Estelle Parsons prepares to depart the Broadway production of “August: Osage County” for its national tour, its producers announced that they had found a new actress to play Violet Weston: Phylicia Rashad. A Tony winner for “A Raisin in the Sun,” Ms. Rashad will take over the role of the unabashed Oklahoma matriarch on May 26. The Broadway version of the Tracy Letts play continues at the Music Box Theater; the tour is scheduled to begin in Denver on July 24.
