Trapped in a cramped apartment with her soft-spoken son and self-absorbed daughter-in-law, widow Carrie Watts dreams of returning to her home in the Gulf Coast town of Bountiful, where she grew up and raised her own family. Fearing that she’s an imposition and chafing under her daughter-in-law’s watchful eye, she steals away and heads home in the journey of a lifetime. The results are deeply emotional and uplifting in one of legendary playwright Horton Foote’s most popular works. Drama Desk Award nominee and Broadway veteran Lizan Mitchell is Carrie. A co-production with Cleveland Play House, this is the first time The Trip to Bountiful has been performed by a primarily African-American cast.
The cast includes Doug Brown, Jessica Frances Dukes, Chinai J. Hardy, Lizan Mitchell, Howard Overshown, and Lawrence Redmond.
The artistic team includes director Timothy Douglas, scenic designer Tony Cisek, costume designer Toni-Leslie James, lighting designer Christopher Studley, sound designer Christopher C. Swonger, stage manager Jennifer Schwartz, dramaturg Jacqueline E. Lawton, and assistant director Bridget Leak.
