“The Trip to Bountiful”, a drama by Horton Foote, will play on Unity’s Main Stage from tonight to February 23rd.
The story follows the journey of Carrie Watts, who longs to escape the cramped Houston apartment she lives in with her son, Ludie, and her domineering daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae, and return one last time to her hometown of Bountiful, Texas.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Tonight’s preview performance will be followed by a talk-back with the cast and crew.
