Different Stages Presents THE CARPETBAGGER'S CHILDREN, 3/19-4/10

The Carpetbagger's Children
by Horton Foote
directed by Norman Blumensaadt

March 19 - April 10, 2010
Austin Playhouse, Larry L. King Stage, Penn Field, 3601 South Congress

In funny, moving, engaging monologues, three sisters spin the tale of their family and an era. Their father, the eponymous carpetbagger, was a former Union soldier who used his post as county treasurer and tax collector to amass a Texas plantation of twenty thousand acres. Preserving that plantation through the vicissitudes of their lives becomes a central issue for his daughters. It's all about family secrets, tribal memories, sibling rivalry, and how change stalks our lives.
