Dividing The Estate - Horton Foote's Tony-Nominated Comedy-Drama October 22, 2010

Redbud Productions is proud to present the local premiere of Horton Foote's award-winning comedy/drama of a dysfunctional family in uncertain financial times, directed by Tim Grimes.

One of the most recent plays (appearing on Broadway with a star-studded cast to much acclaim in 2008) by beloved Pulitzer-winning playwright Horton Foote, The New York Times called it a “masterwork” and a “must for discriminating theatergoers".

Michelle Derr leads an ensemble cast as Stella Gordon, the matriarch of a well-to-do Texas family in the 1980's recession, determined not to divide her 100-year-old estate, despite her family's declining wealth, her battling offspring and the looming financial crisis.

Lenore Ferber, Loretta Grimes and Thom Johnson are her adult children arguing over the estate – while reopening old family wounds and resentments. Grandson Chris Starkey desperately attempts to hold family and funds together – but will family disagreements be too much Pauline (Emily Rogers), his new sweet, socially minded girlfriend?

Ralph Carpenter, Juliette Collins, Joe Eadie, Ena Headlum, Leslie McCarty, Jenny Pritchett, and Yessa Villarreal round out the talented cast as family and friends caught up in the dispute, as the Gordon family confronts its past to prepare for its future.

Find out why this critically lauded comedy-drama won the hearts of Broadway theatergoers and won multiple awards! Meet the Gordon family for a humorous, emotional evening of theater!
