Siblings Hallie Foote and Horton Foote Jr. will co-star in the Old Globe Theatre’s production of their late father Horton Foote’s play, Dividing the Estate, to run January 14-February 12, with an opening on January 19. Michael Wilson will direct the play

Set in Texas in the late 1980s, the satirical play focuses on an octogenarian matriarch and her children, who must confront its past as it prepares for an uncertain future when the family fortune begins to diminish.

The cast will also feature Devon Abner (Son), Elizabeth Ashley (Stella Gordon), Pat Bowie (Mildred), James DeMarse (Bob), Penny Fuller (Lucille), Maggie Lacey (Pauline), Nicole Lowrance (Sissie), Jenny Dare Paulin (Emily), Keiana Richàrd (Cathleen), Roger Robinson (Doug), and Bree Welch (Irene Ratliff).

The creative team will include Jeff Cowie (scenic design), David C. Woolard (costume design), Rui Rita (lighting design), and John Gromada (original music and sound design).
