The Signature Theatre Company’s production of Horton Foote’s The Trip to Bountiful has again had its run extended, through March 11.
Directed by Harris Yulin, the show opened on December 4 to excellent reviews. The latest extension will be the production’s last; it will not transfer to Broadway, due to the lack of an available house, or to another Off-Broadway theater this season.
The Trip to Bountiful stars Lois Smith as Carrie Watts, an elderly woman who longs to return to her childhood home of Bountiful, Texas after an absence of 30 years. Despite her failing health, she grows more determined to escape from the tiny Houston apartment that she shares with her soft-spoken son and watchful daughter-in-law. When she finally she gets her chance to head homeward, it turns out to be the journey of a lifetime.
The cast of the show also includes Hallie Foote, Devon Abner, Meghan Andrews, Frank Girardeau, Gene Jones, and Sam Kitchin. The creative team consists of E. David Cosier (sets), Martin Pakledinaz (costumes), John McKernon (lights), and Fitz Patton (sound).
