CAST to Take Local Audiences
on "The Trip To Bountiful"

CAST will take area theatergoers on a spirited journey to Bountiful, Texas during its presentation of the classic play "The Trip to Bountiful," February 8 � 11 and 15 � 18 at the JSU/McClellan Theatre.

The story of Mrs. Carrie Watts� flight from the confinement of her son�s big city apartment toward her small hometown, "The Trip to Bountiful" first came to life as a television movie in 1953. Two years later author Horton Foote adapted it into an acclaimed Broadway play and, in 1985, an Academy Award winning movie for actress Geraldine Page.

CAST�s production of this moving drama stars Jacksonville�s Sylvia S. Malone as Mrs. Watts, Randy Davis and Denise Davis as her son and daughter-in-law and Sumer Buckner as the young traveler she meets on her journey.

Kimberley Dobbs, CAST�s Artistic Director and General Manager, will direct the production. Set design is by Jim Robinson.

Centered on the concept that �home is where the heart is�, "The Trip to Bountiful" makes for a perfect way to celebrate Valentine's with the one(s) you love!

Show times are at 8:00 p.m. February 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17 and at 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 and 18.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for students, with group rates available. Admission to all Thursday night CAST productions is �Pay-What-You-Can.�

The JSU /McClellan Theatre is located at 100 Gamecock Drive, on the former Fort McClellan property.

Reservations may be made by calling 820-2278 (CAST).
