Horton Foote’s TONY-winning play tells the moving story of Carrie Watts, an elderly Southern woman who dreams of escaping the bustling city to return to rural Bountiful, Texas. She sets out on a risky journey to her beloved hometown with her family in hot pursuit. Along the way, she encounters kindness and compassion … and discovers the true meaning of home. This classic American drama is a touching portrait of family, what we hold onto, and what we leave behind. Starring Kim Zimmer, the four-time Daytime Emmy award winning actor renowned for her iconic portrayal of Reva Shayne on "Guiding Light", as Carrie Watts. Rated PG
