Three Women; Three Tales

Aglet Theatre Company winds up its spring season of staged readings with Horton Foote’s next to last play, “The Carpetbagger’s Children.” Set in a small Texas town after Reconstruction, three sisterssingly tell family stories, each story skewed slightly by memory, personality and time, each giving their own version of the same tales. Foote is known for his film scripts “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and “Tender Mercies.” For his play “The Young Man From Atlanta,” Foote won a Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1995. The play features Eileen Epperson, Joanna Seaton and Stacie Weiner. Performances are scheduled for April 29 and 30 at the Berkshire Festival’s Unicorn Theatre in Stockbridge, MA, and at the Bok Gallery in Sharon, CT, May 6 and 7. Doors open at 7 p.m. for refreshments. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. For reservations and information, 860-435-6928; or go to www.aglettheatre.net.
