The Heights Players presents The Trip to Bountiful
The Heights Players continues its 54th season with The Trip to Bountiful, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright Horton Foote. Foote is also known for his Academy Award-winning screenplays for the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird and the 1983 film Tender Mercies.
The Trip to Bountiful tells the uplifting story of Mrs. Carrie Watts, an aging widow living with her son and daughter-in-law in a three-room flat in Houston, Texas, in 1953. Fearing that her presence may be an imposition on others, and chafing under the watchful eye of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Watts imagines that if she can get away and return to her old home in the town of Bountiful, she is sure to regain her strength, dignity and peace of mind. So, one day, she decides to run away… and find her way back to Bountiful.
The Trip to Bountiful will be presented Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. February 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20. Sunday matinees will be performed at 2 p.m. on February 7, 14 and 21.
