"The Trip to Bountiful"

Presented by Theatrikos Theatre Company at Doris Harper-White Playhouse

In this moving tale, aging widow Carrie Watts longs to escape the cramped Houston apartment where she lives with her protective son and self-obsessed daughter-in-law. Wanting to return to her beloved hometown of Bountiful, Texas, one final time before she dies, Mrs. Watts escapes to the bus station and befriends a young woman named Thelma.

The new friends travel toward Bountiful together, but when she arrives in nearby Harrison, Texas, Mrs. Watts begins to learn that her beloved town isn’t the same as she remembered it.

“This story is about the universal longing for ‘home’ and the many barriers to obtaining what we most desire, including our sometimes-challenging relationships with family members,” said director Nancy Wonders. “Carrie’s journey reveals that we cannot turn back time and return to the places of our memory – yet there is joy to be gained in pursuing our dreams at any age.”

The cast of eight includes Scott Ballou, Gavin Buckley, Becky Daggett, Nate Piper, Michael Rulon, Linda Sutera, Tony Sutera, and Audrey Young.
