The touching American classic, THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, tells the story of Carrie Watts, an elderly woman who dreams of returning to her small hometown of Bountiful, TX one last time, against the wishes of her overprotective son and domineering daughter-in-law. Her journey becomes a heartbreaking but ultimately life-affirming and inspiring tale that examines the fragility of memory and celebrates the enduring power of hope and faith.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Trip to Bountiful
Theater Review: The Trip to Bountiful, Without Doilies
6 / 10
The problem, intermittently, is the tone. The director, Michael Wilson, a Foote expert, for some reason lets much of the first act play like comedy. Humor is there in the script, no doubt, especially in the animosity between the two women; when Jessie Mae fumes, Carrie feigns subservience, then does exactly what she wants to anyway. But Williams’s hauteur and stupendous beauty throw the scale out of whack, and Tyson overcompensates with antic old-ladyisms.
'The Trip to Bountiful' review: Cicely Tyson is radiant
8 / 10
Tyson, who has said she admired this play since she saw Geraldine Page in the 1985 movie, says she told her agent, 'get me my 'Trip to Bountiful' and I'll retire.' Better, perhaps she'll make Broadway home.
