Following last season’s sold-out hit, To Kill A Mockingbird, NOCCA STAGE Company, the professional arm of New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts’ Theatre Arts Department, presents the American classic, The Trip to Bountiful. Full of humor and grace, the play centers around the character of widow Carrie Watts, who dreams of returning to her home in the Gulf Coast town of Bountiful. Trapped in a cramped Houston apartment with he...r soft-spoken, stoic son and self-absorbed daughter-in-law, she steals away and heads home in the journey of a lifetime. As she struggles to find her way back to Bountiful, the question arises of whether “home” is really just a state of mind. The results are deeply emotional and uplifting in one of legendary playwright Horton Foote’s most popular works.
