Horton Foote Memorial Set for Vivian Beaumont Theater on May 11

Lincoln Center Theater will host a memorial for Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Horton Foote, who died earlier this year at the age of 92. The memorial, which is open to the public, will take place at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on Monday, May 11 at 4 pm.

Among the family, friends and colleagues scheduled to attend and pay tribute are writers Edward Albee, Daisy Foote and Romulus Linney, actors Devon Abner, Elizabeth Ashley, Matthew Broderick, Robert Duvall, Hallie Foote, Roberta Maxwell, Estelle Parsons, Lois Smith and Harris Yulin, singers Meghan Andrews and Betty Buckley, theater producers Andre Bishop, Casey Childs and James Houghton, and director Michael Wilson, as well as his two sons, Horton Foote, Jr. and Walter Foote.

Foote was recently represented on Broadway by Dividing the Estate, which is scheduled to play Hartford Stage later this month. He won the Pulitzer for The Young Man From Atlanta, which was also nominated for a Tony Award as Best Play. His many other plays include The Trip to Bountiful, The Traveling Lady, and a series of plays now grouped as “The Orphans’ Home Cycle,” that are set to be co-produced next season by Hartford Stage and New York City’s Signature Theatre Company.
