Director Michael Wilson, and Hallie Foote, playwright Horton Foote’s daughter, talk about staging "The Orphans' Home Cycle," a nine-play family saga that chronicles the childhood, coming of age, and adulthood of Horace Robedaux, a character based heavily on Horton Foote’s father. "The Orphans' Home Cycle" is presented in three parts at The Peter Norton Space, 555 West 42nd Street. More information and tickets here.
