The Carpetbaggerís Children is a creation of the famous and revered playwright and screenwriter, Mr. Horton Foote.
The play is very much family-oriented and tells of a story of three sisters who are challenged to preserve their familyís plantation in Texas especially in an era where America is in rapid growth and change. The sisters, Cornelia, Grace Ann, and Sissie, are daughters of a Union soldier who moved south after the end of the war. The play is a web of family secrets and depicts what small town life is like as well as the private tragedies experienced by many families in those eras.
Horton Foote won the 2002 Steinberg/American Theatre Critics New Play Award for the Carpetbaggerís Children. Horton Foote is not only the author and creator of Broadway plays but also of successful screenplays as well. The play premiered in the Ford Theatre and is appropriate for audiences ages 13 and up.
