DALLAS—Home can heal. Nowhere is home more celebrated than in Horton Foote's, "The Trip to Bountiful," Theatre Brookhaven's first show of the season, Oct. 5-14. This is the college's first partnership with the professional theatre company, One Thirty Productions.
Gene Raye Price, charismatic stage and screen actress with One Thirty Productions, is the bridge between the company and the college where she also teaches. Price leads the cast in the starring role of
Carrie Watts, an elderly woman who wants to return to her childhood home of Bountiful, Texas, before her death. Carrie runs away from the cramped Houston apartment she must share with her frail son and his overbearing wife to return to that place where life was better. Her journey leads through memories that have sustained her and others that still cause pain, but she discovers that memory is rarely the absolute truth.
