PrintTHE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL
Dayton Theatre Guild
April 15-May 1
Dayton

Directed by Craig Smith
Produced by Debra Kent

Cast: Gayle Smith as Mrs. Carrie Watts, Ray Geiger as Ludie Watts, Amy Askins as Jessie Mae Watts, Angela Dermer as Thelma, Scott Madden as Sheriff/Houston Ticket Agent & Ryan Shannon as Roy/Houston Ticket Agent

Carrie Watts is living the twilight of her life trapped in an apartment in 1940’s Houston, Texas, with a controlling daughter-in-law and a hen-pecked son. Her fondest wish — just once before she dies — is to revisit Bountiful, the small Texas town of her youth which she still refers to as “home.” But her son, Ludies, is too concerned for her health to allow her travel alone, and her petty daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae, insists they don’t have money to squander on bus tickets. This prompts “escape” attempts each month, which coincide with the arrival of Mrs. Watts’ Social Security check. Then, Mrs. Watts makes a successful escape, and one last trip home.
