From Le Petit:
Playwright Horton Foote was born in 1916. As we ready our production of his 2008 Broadway hit, Dividing the Estate, we celebrate the diverse work he produced in his lifetime.
Foote enjoyed a long and successful career as a playwright, as well as a screenwriter. He endeared himself into the heart of the American conscious with his 1962 film adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird, for which he received the Academy Award. He received his second Academy Award for 1983s Tender Mercies, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1995 for The Young Man from Atlanta.
One of Americas most prolific playwrights, Foote's robust body of work includes over 50 plays set in the American South, 38 screenplays, and 2 memoirs.
Starting March 24th, we are honored to present the regional premiere of Dividing the Estate, in conjunction with the Tennessee Williams/ New Orleans Literary Festival.

Dividing the Estate - The third regional premiere of our season is the winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play in 2007, and a two-time Tony Nominee. Stella Gordon is dead-set against parceling out her family’s land, despite the financial woes brought on by the oil bust of the 1980’s. Her three children, however, have another plan. Old resentments and sibling rivalries surface as the members of this hilariously dysfunctional family go head-to-head to claim the biggest piece of the pie in this masterpiece by “America’s Storyteller,” Horton Foote.
