St. Charles North Performs DIVIDING THE ESTATE by Horton Foote

In
the St. Charles North Auditorium, SCN Drama will present their fall play Dividing the Estate written by Horton
Foote on October 31st, November 1st, & 2nd
at 7:30 PM.  

The story begins when matriarch Stella
Gordon is determined not to divide her 100-year-old Texas estate, despite her
family's declining wealth and the looming financial crisis. But her three
children have another plan. Old resentments and sibling rivalries surface as
the members of this hilariously dysfunctional family go head to head to see who
might claim the biggest piece of the pie.

"DIVIDING THE ESTATE goes for
laughs and succeeds, and at the same time comments on more sweeping notions of
avarice, entitlement and carpetbagging karma." —NY Daily News.

"Horton Foote's DIVIDING THE
ESTATE—about a rapacious Southern family tangling over finances—contains echoes
of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Little Foxes, but
its elegiac tone and rich humor clearly reflect the spirit of its
playwright." —NY Post.

 "DIVIDING THE ESTATE will draw you
into its drawing room and the shadows beyond with the theatrical equivalent of
a page-turner, capturing your undivided attention as you hang on its teasing
turmoil in guiltlessly glad complicity." —Bloomberg.com.
