Multiple Award-Winning, including the Pulitzer, playwright Horton Foote portrays Southern women with a flair that contains wit, charm, and perseverance. In THE ROADS TO HOME his three female characters are both gracious and gritty. As you join Mable (Hallie Foote), Vonnie (Harriet Harris), and Annie (Rebecca Brooksher) for morning coffee in 1924, amidst the gossip you learn that, although these ladies now call Houston their home, their childhood memories and foundations are rooted in small Texas and Louisiana towns. Rich in dialogue, they share fond recollections and current dilemmas. In Scene Two we catch up with the ladies where one has discovered that her husband is cheating on her, and the other has succumbed to her mental anguishes. Act Two brings us into an alternate reality as Annie and three residents (Dan Bittner, Devon Abner, and Matt Sullivan) observe a spring dance from a garden outside the auditorium.

These three interrelated scenarios maintain the theme of home and family. THE ROADS TO HOME may be diverse and disparate and often fraught with twists, delays, and detours, but we travel on in the best method we can, honoring traditions, values, and beliefs. Although we each define “home” in our own individual style, the universal concept of “home is where the heart is” rings true. Horton Foote’s THE ROADS TO HOME serves as a gentle reminder.
